Demetrius Oliver
Demetrius Oliver is an interdisciplinary artist and educator. Oliver uses a range of commonplace objects and media to create subtle dialogues between matter and site. These site-specific exchanges are realized through improvisatory, installation-based gestures that call attention to the physical and dynamic properties of prosaic materials. Incorporating photography, sculpture, and video, Oliver elevates even the most ordinary objects to explore diverse phenomena in music, science, and thought.
Demetrius Oliver has exhibited work art MoMA PS1, New York City; MASS MoCA, North Adams; and The Renaissance Society, Chicago, among others.
