Pae White
Pae White was born in Pasadena, USA (1963) and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Her sculptures and installations are often site specific, utilizing the intent of the architecture and allowing it to set the tone of a spatial narrative.
We have been following the artistic endeavors of Pae White for years. We remember her installation in Venice (2009), her work in the Whitney Biennial (2010), and have consistently been following her exhibitions and cheering on her accolades as she is a constant source of inspiration to our practice.

Pae White’s installation in the Arsenale at the Venice Biennale (2009) was a birdcage, flattened under its own weight. We encountered large chandeliers of birdseed amidst the sounds of bird calls.

Pae White is known for her installations of ceramic sculptures with either gold or platinum centers that are fashioned into amorphic “popcorn” shapes.
