"This was my second time working at Xenia and spending time on the farm.  I can’t thank Bianca, Stuart and the family enough for creating this kind of space for work and reflection and for welcoming me so warmly and generously! Everyone at the farm, as was my experience last time, was super helpful and friendly. I spent my time working on a couple of new sculptures, one that will show at Frieze London this year with Edel Assanti, and the second is a bronze that I worked on with a local foundry ten mins away from the residency. My apartment and studio at Xenia were adjacent which was so comfortable. I will go on runs in the mornings, cook all my meals and still have lots of time to work in the studio, read and sketch some new ideas. I loved my time there so much! Thank you!"

About

Oren Pinhassi’s installations examine the relationship between the human figure, nature, and the built environment by conjuring evocative and erotic sites that intersect public and private exchange. His sculptures frequently combine the superfluous and the ergonomic, erring towards the utopian. They mimic familiar objects, seeking to render visible the ways that humans build the world in their own image.

Oren Pinhassi received an MFA from Yale in 2014 and a B.Ed.F.A. in 2011 from Beit-Berl College, Hamidrasha School of Art.

His work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including, Kiang Malingue, Hong Kong (2022); Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne, Germany (2021); Commonwealth and Council, Los Angeles, USA (2021); Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Lissone, Lissone, Italy, (2019); Castello San Basilio, Basilicata, Italy (2019); Palazzo Monti, Brescia, Italy (2019); Skibum MacArthur, Los Angeles, USA, (2018); Petach Tikva Museum of Art, Petach-Tikva, Israel, (2017); Tina Kim Gallery, New York, USA (2019); Yossi Milo, New York, USA (2019); David Zwirner, New York, USA (2018).

The Artist lives and works in New York City.
