September 10 – September 26

Opening reception: Friday, September 10, 7-10pm

Tasteful Improvements is a solo exhibition by Los Angeles artist Katie
Ryan. For this exhibition, Ryan will create a large-scale geometric
sculpture modeled after Russian tile stoves, and will also be
landscaping the exterior of the gallery. This site-specific sculptural
installation unites seemingly disparate elements of both Ryan’s
practice and the exterior and interior of the gallery. Drawing upon
the artist’s interest in décor and ornamentation, combined with
minimalist sculptural formal qualities, Tasteful Improvements aims to
transform the site by highlighting the gallery’s scale, architecture
and landscape.

Katie Ryan received her BA in fine art and anthropology from Pitzer
College in 2006. Ryan has exhibited in Los Angeles, Seattle and New
York. She currently lives and works in Northeast Los Angeles.
