BIOBIBLIOGRAPHY ........................... New York/ *USA 1956 Eve Andrée Laramée was born in Los Angeles. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. The mutable, triadic relationship between art, science and nature has been the foundation for her investigations over the years. Her work reflects upon the ways in which cultures use science and art, as devices or maps to construct belief systems. Zeroing in on ambiguities in belief systems, she melds fact and fiction and interweaves the rational and the irrational. She questions the pervasive idea that art and science occupy completely unrelated realms (intuition vs. cognition) and draws attention to areas of overlap and interconnection between artistic exploration and scientific investigation, and to the slippery human subjectivity underlying both processes. Her work has been exhibited throughout the U. S. and in Europe, including exhibitions in New York, England, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, Israel, Poland and the Czech Republic. Her work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennial; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; the High Museum of Art, Atlanta; the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; the Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe; the Albuquerque Museum, among other institutions. Her installation, "Apparatus for the Distillation of Vague Intuitions" was recently shown at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. She has taught sculpture, installation and critical theory at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Art and Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); the Rhode Island School of Design, New York University; the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and Sarah Lawrence College. She is currently the Director of the Studio Arts Program at Fairfield University. In 2001 and in 1987 she received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Art. In 1995 she received a regional NEA grant from the Mid Atlantic States Arts Foundation in conjunction with the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1992 she was named the Guggenheim Museum Sculptor-in-Residence and received a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Her work is included in the collections of the MacArthur Foundation; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University; the Albuquerque Museum, and in numerous other public and private collections.
