Dan Colen

Dan Colen is an artist whose work has been exhibited in institutional venues and held in collections around the world. He consistently explores how the physical properties of mediums dictate their specific forms and symbolic resonances, and oscillates between rigorous artisanal technique and the aesthetics of chance and interconnectedness. His practice perpetually seeks out new modes of making and sharing; in 2011 he founded Sky High Farm, a nonprofit farm dedicated to diminishing food insecurity and promoting food sovereignty.
