Peter
Coffin is an American artist, who grew up and studied
in California and now lives and works in New York City.
His art has been exhibited internationally at such venues
as PS1 in New York, The Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the
Berlin Biennal, and The Horticultural Society of New York.
Peter
Coffin brings together, with lightness and subtlety, elemental
themes concerned with our perception of reality. His work
is informed by and engaged with curiosity and a desire
to connect with the things that are greater than us, or
perhaps, just barely in reach. He has produced simple
works that encourage new frames of reference and perspective:
a dance floor for jumping beans, a greenhouse for plants
and musical jam sessions, singing trees, and hollow log
cosmologies. These works and others bring together unexpected
connections between movement, culture, the natural world,
and the universe of our thoughts.
