    LA><ART is pleased to present a photographic edition by New York based artist Michael Queenland. Queenland, who received his MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2002, has since exhibited widely throughout the United States and abroad in solo and group exhibitions. In September 2007, he will produce a site-specific installation at LA><ART entitled THE MORL or NYC-Apartment that restages and examines the logic of museological display and the phenomena of kitsch by transforming the space of the gallery into that of a conceptual Wunderkammer. This edition, made available through LA><ART, helps to support the production of this ambitious intervention.

    This untitled photograph is a document of the two live cats that inhabited the installation and gallery space throughout the course of the artist’s Bread & Balloons, a solo exhibition at Harris Lieberman gallery in New York earlier this year. The theatrical and performative presence of the cats in the exhibition space extended Queenland’s interrogations of sculptural fixity and the limitations of medium-specific modes of signification.

    Queenland is currently represented by Harris Lieberman gallery in New York and Daniel Hug Gallery in Los Angeles. In 2005, the exhibition Michael Queenland: Photographs, Sculptures, and Shaker Classics traveled to both the Institute of Contemporary Art at the Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine and the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, Massachusetts. In 2006, he was named a United States Artists Fellow. From 2004 to 2005, he served as a resident artist at the Studio Museum in Harlem. Recent exhibitions include Civil Restitutions at Thomas Dane Gallery in London, Trace at the Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria in New York, and Frequency at the Studio Museum in Harlem.
