Sara Black’s work uses conscious processes of carpentry, woodworking, and craft as a time-based method; diseased or affected wood, inherited building materials, or other exhausted objects as material; and creates work that exposes the complex ways in which beings and things are suspended in worlds together, often generating forms that intend to push beyond human frames of reference. Within her practice she works both individually and collaboratively, most recently with artists Amber Ginsburg and Raewyn Martyn. Sara is currently an assistant professor of Sculpture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has given talks and presented workshops at MassArt, Harvard University, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, among others. Her work has been exhibited in a variety of spaces including: Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, the Smart Museum of Art, Gallery 400, and Threewalls; Portland’s Museum of Contemporary Craft; New York’s Park Avenue Armory and Eyebeam; Boston’s Tuft University Gallery; Minneapolis’ Soap Factory; and Cleveland’s SPACES.
