Daniel Turner

Daniel Turner works primarily in sculpture involving the creation or manipulation of materials, objects and environments into tactile or atmospheric forms. These forms are often characterized by a specific response to an environment under a controlled set of processes. This approach has enabled Turner to base form on transposition, preserving a sensory link to geographical locations, cultural associations and human contact. These elements are present in former works where an entire waiting room is cast into a series of solid bars, a psychiatric facility burnished to a darkened stain against an exhibition wall, or a cafeteria dissolved across the expanse of a floor.??

Daniel Turner was born in 1983 in Portsmouth, Virginia, and currently lives and works in New York. The artist's work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions, including Musée des Arts Contemporains Grand-Hornu, Hornu, Belgium; Kunsthalle Basel, Basel, Switzerland; and The Chinati Foundation, Marfa, Texas.??

Group exhibitions include Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, Paris, France; Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France; Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris, France; Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, Deurle, Belgium; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, Japan; Pinchuk Art Centre, Kyiv, Ukraine; Kunstmuseum Thun, Thun, Switzerland; and Museen Haus Esters und Haus Lange, Krefeld, Germany. Turner's works are held in the collections of Kunstmuseum Basel, Centre Pompidou, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Frac Bretagne, S.M.A.K. Ghent, Musée des Arts Contemporains Grand-Hornu, ICA Miami, among others.
