Distinctions between knowledge and perception and inside and outside are some of the basics that amusingly manage the resonance of Nathaniel Robinson's work. The inter-relatedness of the objects and installations and their juxtaposition of such things as scale, status, context and meaning encourage an understanding of identity as mutable rather than fixed. Nathaniel Robinson began exhibiting with Feature Inc. in 2009 and this is his second one-person exhibition with the gallery. He has a 2002 BA from Amherst College and a 2005 MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Nathaniel Robinson was born in Rhode Island in 1980, and currently lives in Brewster NY. |
