Georgia McGovern
Georgia McGovern was born in 1988 in the Lower East Side of NYC and currently works between Brooklyn, NY and Sudbury, Vermont – and whatever mountain or woods she is retreating to for rewilding, renewal, and inspiration. As an artist, Georgia’s current work uses natural and found industrial materials such as plant matter, minerals, and wasp galls to wrecked car parts, old scrap metal, and construction material like copper pipes, tile, and drywall. Georgia’s work explores the boundaries of art and craft, and her practice is a conscious political investigation of consumption and ornament in this age of novelty and environmental and social crisis- aka trying to figure out how to “make” “things” in this day and age”.
Georgia’s recent exhibitions include The NY Public Library Pictures Collection; Safe Gallery, NY; Land Gallery, Kansas City, MO; and The Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff, Canada. Recent curatorial projects, "In The Weeds" at Olympia, New York and "Citygroup Bulletin" (ongoing) at Citygroup, New York. Georgia is also working on a forthcoming land based sculpture project in California with Boxo Projects, and a two-person show in Montana with Brackett Creek Exhibitions.
