About

Laura Shill is an artist based in Los Angeles, CA and Denver, CO whose work is a collision of sculpture, installation, performance, and photography. Shill addresses ideas of viewer and subject, disclosure and concealment, absence and intimacy. Her works explore the transformative potential of people and objects through early and experimental forms of image making that pair the sinister and beautiful.  Her sculptural and installation work borrows theatrical conventions and employs repetition of form to create environments that immerse and oscillate between humor and heartbreak.

Shill earned an MFA in Interdisciplinary Media Arts Practices from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 2012 and has exhibited her work nationally and internationally at the 2017 Venice Biennale at the European Cultural Center, The Gallery of Contemporary Art, Colorado Springs, David B. Smith Gallery, Denver, Catherine Edelman Gallery, Chicago, and Durden and Ray, Los Angeles. Her 2016 solo exhibition, Phantom Touch, was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver.
