Kira Lynn Harris (b. 1963) is an African-American mixed-media artist who currently lives and teaches in New York City. Harris was born in Los Angeles. She received her BA in Studio Art from the University of California at Santa Cruz and then her MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 1998. In addition to multiple solo and group exhibitions in the United States, Italy, Canada, and South Africa, Harris has also served as artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem (2001-2002), the Center for Photography at Woodstock (2004), St. Mary's College of Maryland (2005), and the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art (2006). Her work has been exhibited at many galleries, including MoMA PS1 and the Miami Art Museum. Her work has been reviewed in ''The New York Times'', ''Time Out New York'', and the ''Los Angeles Times'', among others. Critics have described her work as "minimal," making use of installation, drawing, photography, and video to express "formal concerns of space, light and the phenomenological with issues of individual subjectivity." Of her work, Harris explains, "My projects often provide a disorienting encounter for the viewer: in my installations I am concerned with destabilization and re-orientation. To achieve this I often create architectural and environmental interventions – by using light and reflective surfaces; by inverting subject and object or figure and ground; and/or by reversing up and down, exterior and interior." Harris has stated that her work is influenced by artists like James Turrell, Mark Rothko, and the Hudson River School painters; she also explained, "A lot of my interest in light came from being from Los Angeles, where the light is just everywhere. You have these huge expanses of sky.” ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kira Lynn Harris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
