KELLY SHERMAN
Kelly Sherman creates cool, minimalist installations that are infused with emotion, memory and the tensions in human relationships. Sherman’s art compels us to reconsider the mundane and the unspectacular for possibilities of insight into the human condition. Sherman is the 2007 recipient of the James & Audrey Foster Prize from the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston and has exhibited her work at the ICA/Boston, Brandeis University, Suffolk University, Brown University and Massachusetts College of Art.
