The Center, 2008
David Altmejd (born 1974) is known for his intricate and highly worked room-size installations and sculptures. Seamlessly moving between a variety of aesthetic modes–from an almost ascetic minimalism in works employing plaster and mirror to works teeming with accumulations of various objects–Altmejd’s work offers carefully wrought meditations on the cycles of life and death, interiority and exteriority, sexuality and spirituality.
David Altmejd has shown widely in the United States, Canada, and Europe. His major solo exhibition “Flux” just opened this October at the Musee d’art Moderne de la ville de Paris in France.
David received his MFA in 2001 here at Columbia University and his BFA in 1998 at Université du Québec à Montréal in Canada.
