Catherine Telford Keogh (b. Toronto, Canada; lives and works in New York) is an interdisciplinary artist who works with sculpture, installation and contingent materials. Following materials and ideas that generate curiosity and a sense of unknowing, Telford Keogh examines the desires embedded in commercial objects as they transform through biological and material processes. Her work investigates what is seen and unseen, exploring how things held in the body change, accrue, and diminish over time. Drawing from environmental histories and product life cycles, her sculptural assemblages use industrial materials alongside commercial language to question our interactions with mass-produced design.
Selected solo exhibitions include Carriers (Gravity-Fed) at the Greater Toronto Area Triennial, Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto (2024); Shelf Life, Helena Anrather, New York (2023); Circuit Trouble, Erin Stump Projects, Toronto (2022); and Nervous System, Helena Anrather, New York (2020). Her work has been featured in group exhibitions at ILY2, New York; HESSE FLATOW, Amagansett, New York; Galeria Fidelidade Arte, Lisbon; Franz Kaka, Toronto; Public Gallery, London; Canadian Cultural Centre, Paris; Someday Gallery, New York; Bronx Museum, New York; Galerie Antoine Ertaskiran, Montreal; Seattle Art Museum, Washington; Thkio Ppalies, Cyprus; and Interstate Projects, New York, among others. She is currently a Socrates Fellow and holds an MFA in Sculpture from Yale School of Art and an MAR in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Yale University. For full CV visit their website.
