Kate Newby (born 1979) is an artist from New Zealand.[1]
Background
[edit]Newby was born in 1979 in the Auckland region of New Zealand.[2] She attended the Elam School of Fine Arts, receiving a BFA in 2001, an MFA in 2007, and a PhD in 2015.[3] The title of her doctoral thesis was Casualness: it's not about what it looks like it's about what it does.[4]
Career
[edit]Newby is a mixed materials installation artist.[5] She creates her installations based on their site and setting, often disused urban environments.[6] Using commonplace materials such as pebbles, nails, and rope, her work explores the details of everyday life.[7]
Newby was a member of the Auckland artist space Gambia Castle.[8]
Newby's work has been shown in internationally renowned institutions, such as the Biennale of Sydney; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia; Kunsthalle Wien; Contemporary Swedish Art Foundation; Artpace; Fogo Island Gallery; Mori Art Museum; Palais de Tokyo; Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris; Sharjah Biennial; among other institutions.[9]
