Elizabeth King

Elizabeth King's work combines sculpture, film, and installation. She makes objects, sets them in motion with stop-frame film animation, then presents object and film together to challenge the boundary between actual and virtual space. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Hirshhorn Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Most recently, she has shown at the Meguro Museum in Tokyo, a group exhibition entitled, "A Shriek from an Invisible Box." She is represented by Kent Gallery in New York City (see Links ).
