Born in Pasadena in 1963. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
The core of Pae White’s practice is based in the desire to insert the domestic in the space of art, two worlds that in her practice overlap with playful and poetic vision. Her production allude to this constant oscillation between art and design, function and form, revealing a painterly, trompe-d’oeil quality that often confuses the real nature of their medium.
Since the beginning of her career Pae White has explored a variety of materials and techniques, formal elements being a central focus of her artistic production. Among her most iconic artworks we can mention her tapestries, mobiles, chandeliers, thread installations, neon installations. Her research develops with the study of different materials as aluminum, ceramic, clay, glass, marble, paper, porcelain and steel.
All of pae White’s works share an intrinsic duality, existing as both functional objects and sculptures. The duality is seen in the production of her work as well, whereby what seems manual, hand-crafted, is in fact the fruit of advanced mechanical technology.
Pae White work has been exhibited internationally in several solo exhibitions in venues such as San Jose Museum of Art, San Jose (2019); moderne galerie, Saarbrücken, (2017); le stanze del vetro, Venice (2017); Henry Art Gallery, Seattle (2015); MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, Wien (2013); Langen Foundation, Neuss (2013); South London Gallery, London (2013); The Power Plant, Toronto (2011) and many others.
pae white has participated to the NGV Triennial, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne (2017); the Whitney Biennial (2010); the 53rd Venice Biennal (2009); the Prague Triennale (2008).
Among pae white recent group shows, we can mention Istanbul Modern, Istanbul; Lismore Castle Arts, Ireland (2016); PAC – Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea, Milano (2015); Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin (2013); Museé d’Art Moderne, Paris (2013); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2013); Solomon Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2010); Tate Modern, London; the Jewish Museum, New York; Triennale Milano, milano (2006) and many others.
pae white’s work is in many permanent collections, including those of the Art Institue of Chicago; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Kemper Art Museum, St. Luis; Jumex Collection, Mexico city; MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, Wien; moca, Los Angeles; moma, new york; sfmoma, san francisco; Stedlijk Museum, amsterdam; tate modern, london; The Henry Gallery, Seattle; The National Gallery of Victoria, melbourne;
