ARTIST INFORMATION

Kerry Phillips (b. 1974 Denton, TX) is an installation artist whose artwork borders on performance and social practice. Phillips’ work with found objects is intuitive, often site-specific, and steeped in remembrance and storytelling. She uses common objects in unexpected ways, working collaboratively with viewer-participants to reveal an exchange of value, the importance and limitations of memory, and the vitality of play.

Phillips earned a BFA from Florida International University (2000), an MFA from University of Arizona (2003), and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at the Orlando Museum of Art, Locust Projects, Pérez Art Museum Miami, Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, Boca Raton Museum of Art, the Deering Estate’s Spring Contemporary, and Bridge Red Projects. In August 2023, Phillip’s will inaugurate her first solo exhibition with The Bass Museum in Miami Beach titled Between the miraculous & the mundane. She forms part of the permanent collections of the Orlando Museum of Art, and The Girls’ Club.
