ABOUT
Lauren Alyssa Bierly is a mixed media, interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, New York who works between two- and three-dimensions with acrylic paint, graphite, plexi / glass, and fiber. Lauren's practice draws on her training in architecture and psychology to deconstruct her inner and outer environments into sensory snapshots of Time. She has fifteen+ years of exhibition management experience in contemporary art, design and fashion in New York City.
Lauren is interested in the intersection of sensory languages--particularly perceptions of color, shape, sound, and light--and how variants of these languages shape our identity and behavior in relationships with our environments: a human creation of 'place.' Through two ongoing projects--"Color Translations," an exploration of her inner world, and "Architecture of Memory," an exploration of her outer world--Lauren captures precise moments in sensory time.
She has presented her work in New York City, California, New Jersey, Oregon, Kolkata, Moscow, and Oxford. She will be artist-in-residence at Taleamor Park (2025, Indiana) and ChaNorth Residency (2025, New York) this winter/spring, and previously at Playa Art + Science (2020, Oregon); ChaNorth Residency (2018, New York); Starry Night Residency (2017, New Mexico); Panoply Performance Lab (2016, New York) and Trestle Art Space (2015, New York). She was a member of collective Incredible Witness with performance artist and scientist Clarinda Mac Low and poet Allison Parrish from 2015–2017, and a participant of the University of Sussex’s research on synaesthesia since 2013.
In 2021, Lauren joined the Brooklyn Museum as Senior Exhibitions Project Manager after prior management roles with the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. She has held positions with Museum of Arts & Design, Christie’s, Trestle Art Space, and Eyebeam Art & Technology since 2009 in New York City. Lauren has participated on panels organized by American Synesthesia Association and UK Synaesthesia Association, Harlem School of Arts, Women in Bio, AlterConf NYC, Feldenheimer Gallery, Pratt Institute, and Artists Talk on Art; lectured at Evergreen State College, Parsons School of Design, SCAD Atlanta, and Montserrat College of Art; and been a visiting artist for Art Society, ChaNorth Residency and Trestle Art Space.
Lauren studied Architecture, Cartography and Italian Literature with Sede di Roma (Rome, Italy, 2007). She earned a Bachelor of Architecture and minor in Art History from Pennsylvania State University (University Park, PA, 2009) and Masters of Art in Modern Art, Connoisseurship, and History of the Art Market from Christie’s Education (New York City, 2010). She is continuing education at Textile Arts Center and Urban Glass (Brooklyn, NY).
