Sabina Ott - Sculpture & Installations


Sabina Ott (October 8, 1955 – June 26, 2018) was an American artist known for her broad range of work—from painting to installation to sculpture—and her central role in the art world as teacher, administrator, and recently, as the founder of the exhibition space Terrain, which invites artists to create installations and performances using the exterior of her Oak Park home.Exhibiting since 1985, Ott participated in over 100 solo and group exhibitions at institutions in Sao Paulo, Brazil; Auckland, New Zealand; Melbourne, Australia; and many cities across the U.S. Her work is in numerous museum collections including The Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Oakland Museum of Art, and has been reviewed in Art in America, Art Forum, New Art Examiner, The New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times, among other publications.

Ott’s sculptures, however are predominantly founded in dense, white Styrofoam material scored and fashioned into large, organic shapes. Into this material Ott may insert various colors or found objects like clocks, cloth, and mirrors embedded into the surface . Ott’s sculptures are not always three-dimensional; they may hang on a wall or from the ceiling, or rest upon a shelf. This title seems to be an apt one, that not all material is immaterial.
