Kara Uzelman‘s sculptural works are typified by a deep engagement with found objects and material processes in which collections of discarded objects, the newly obsolete, and remnant materials of everyday life are collaged with research salvaged from our collective dustbin. Since graduating with a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2004, Uzelman’s work has been exhibited internationally in DIY exhibitions, artist run centers, museums, commercial galleries, and art fairs. Recent exhibitions include Concerning Certain Events at the Mendel Art Gallery (Saskatoon, 2015), Gleaners at the Art Gallery of Nanaimo (2015), The Geometry of Knowing at Audain Gallery (Vancouver, 2015), and From What Remains at the Dunlop Art Gallery (Regina, 2014). She has received numerous awards, and her work has been written about in major art publications in both Canada and Europe including C Magazine, Frieze, and Artforum. She has attended residencies at The Klondike Institute of Art (Dawson City, Canada), Triangle (Marseille, France), Mains d'Oeuvres (Paris, France), and Les Ateliers des Arques (Les Arques, France). Uzelman currently lives and works in the rural farming community of Nokomis, Saskatchewan, and her work is represented by Sommer & Kohl (Berlin).
