Ryan Trecartin's (1981, Webster, Texas) movies and sculptures challenge the status quo of the art world and have pioneered a new formalism for his generation. His work has been the subject of several solo museum exhibitions in the United States and internationally - including Ryan Trecartin/Lizzie Fitch at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (2011-12); Ryan Trecartin: Any Ever at venues including MoMA P.S. 1, Long Island City, the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, Istanbul Modern, the Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and The Power Plant, Toronto (2011-10); Ryan Trecartin: I-Be Area, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles and the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus (2008). Trecartin's work was included in important group exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad, including The Encyclopedic Palace, the 55th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale (2013).
