She holds a BA from Columbia\u00a0College and an MFA from Rutgers University.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She has had solo exhibitions at PS1\u00a0MOMA, New York; Luis De Jesus, Los Angeles; Ochi Gallery, Ketchum, ID; Human\u00a0Resources, Los Angeles; and Commonwealth and Council, Los Angeles, among\u00a0others. Her work was featured in \u201cThe Shape of Things to Come: New\u00a0Sculpture,\u201d the international sculpture survey at the Saatchi Gallery in London, as\u00a0well as galleries in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris, among others.\u00a0As described &#8220;Critic&#8217;s Picks: Los Angeles&#8221; for art ltd., Jan. 2015:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<\/span>The hybridized objects Molly Larkey makes blur boundaries between media, adopting the\u00a0materials and processes from multiple disciplines. Her large wall sculptures, which\u00a0simultaneously employ elements of painting, sculpture and text, are made from steel\u00a0wrapped in linen and painted. A continuation of ideas she started in her earlier series, Signs\u00a0for a Pragmatic Utopia, these pieces read differently\u2014the way all sculpture does, as a threedimensional\u00a0object in space\u2014as your vantage changes. As one circles them, these sculptural\u00a0forms that emulate letters\u2014or in Larkey\u2019s terms, represent an alternative alphabet\u2014shift in\u00a0the viewer\u2019s perception.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larkey\u2019s interest in fashioning these pieces derives from Modernist\u00a0strains that have overt political aspirations or utopian ideals, for example Dada and\u00a0Surrealism. However, her work also finds traction within the moment of Structuralism and\u00a0Post-Structuralism, vivifying the concept of language as transient or fugitive. Larkey\u2019s twodimensional\u00a0works in this show, which are essentially topographical paintings, address\u00a0similar themes. Hand-shaped (rather than painted with a brush), these cryptic objects are\u00a0scored with marks that read as both line and symbol. In a larger sense, her interest in\u00a0creating transient signs as constituent pieces of an imagined language stems from her\u00a0experience as a queer person and imagining fluid alternatives to dominant social\u00a0structures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&#8212;Christopher Michno<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Molly Larkey is represented by: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.luisdejesus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Luis De Jesus<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soniadutton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sonia Dutton<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ochigallery.com\/\">Ochi Gallery<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">She is having a\u00a03\u00a0person show at <a href=\"http:\/\/samuelfreeman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Samuel Freeman Gallery,<\/a> February 27th- April 2, 2016:<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3419\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3419\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3419 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/cHeatherRasmussen_IMG_0372.jpg?resize=625%2C417&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"(c)HeatherRasmussen_IMG_0372\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/cHeatherRasmussen_IMG_0372.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/cHeatherRasmussen_IMG_0372.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/cHeatherRasmussen_IMG_0372.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/cHeatherRasmussen_IMG_0372.jpg?resize=624%2C416&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/cHeatherRasmussen_IMG_0372.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;The Not Yet (Signals 1-7)&#8221;, 2014; Steel wrapped with linen, acrylic paint; Dimensions variable (approx. 48\u201d x 216\u201d x 30\u201d)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3420\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3420\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3420 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/%C2%A9HeatherRasmussen_IMG_2494.jpg?resize=625%2C937&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u00a9HeatherRasmussen_IMG_2494\" width=\"625\" height=\"937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/%C2%A9HeatherRasmussen_IMG_2494.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/%C2%A9HeatherRasmussen_IMG_2494.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/%C2%A9HeatherRasmussen_IMG_2494.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/%C2%A9HeatherRasmussen_IMG_2494.jpg?resize=624%2C936&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/%C2%A9HeatherRasmussen_IMG_2494.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3420\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;The Not Yet (Signals 14-15)&#8221;, 2015; Steel wrapped with linen, acrylic paint, 120&#8243; height; other dimensions variable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interview\/mollylarkey.mp3Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn | RSS | Click here to join mailing listMolly Larkey is an artist based in Los Angeles, CA.
