"Matter of Fact" exhibition / installation view / photo credit: James Prinz Photography   Now Representing Cheryl Pope Mark Moore Gallery 5790 Washington Blvd Culver City, CA 90232 Telephone 310 453 3031 Fax 310 453 3831 info@markmooregallery.com www.markmooregallery.com Mark Moore Gallery is proud to announce its representation of mixed media artist, Cheryl Pope. Working in the mediums of sculpture, video, installation, assemblage, drawing, and performance, Pope will have her first Los Angeles solo exhibition with the gallery in 2014. Cheryl Pope addresses issues of connectivity and identity that inform the way in which we live our lives today. She begins with relationships and experiences in her everyday life that she finds to be confrontational or in need of examination, and manipulates their innate tensions to coerce participation or engagement on the part of the viewer. Through research and experimentation, she produces work that poses specific questions about topical social, political, and global conversations. Her work flirts with the precarious and delicate, as well as the physical and psychological, eliciting a dialogue about the navigability of provocative situations and the internal struggles we undergo when striving for control. As a result, she is interested in developing communities through her work via collaboration, relevancy, and outreach that illustrate a collective and individual plight for assertive voice in light of social and political restraint. In 2010, Pope received her Masters in Design from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and her Bachelors in Fine Arts from the same institute in 2003. She is the studio manager for artist Nick Cave, for whom she has worked since 2003. She credits him and his work as a great influence on her practice. In the past eight years, her work has been included in many group contexts, including venues in Chicago such as Evanston Art Center, Boomerang, Swimming Pool Projects, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as The Morgan Conservatory in Cleveland. The artist lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. For more information about the artist, or available work, please feel free to contact the gallery, and we will accommodate your needs.
