Artwork Detail

BROODWORK was founded in 2008 in Los Angeles, CA, by Rebecca Niederlander and Iris Anna Regn to investigate and illuminate the intersection between creativity and family life. BROODWORK acts in diverse roles as artist, curator, and artist organizer. The project includes site-specific object creation, curatorial installation, design, blogging, and event-making, to bring together disparate communities through the great lens of Family. For more information, please visit: http://www.broodwork.com/Rebecca Niederlander is a visual artist living in Los Angeles, CA. Her site-specific sculptural installations are labor-intense abstractions that use repetition and the inherent ephemeral nature of the materials to address the individual’s position within the larger intergenerational community, as well as the micro and macro nature of ego, and in ego’s relationship to the necessities of solitude and boredom in the creation of individual thought. Recent projects include There’s a Nova in the Bed next to Mine at the 56th International Venice Biennale in Venice, Italy.

Iris Anna Regn is trained as an architect, with extensive experience in designing award-winning cross-disciplinary environments: exhibitions for major cultural institutions, buildings, objects that instigate community, and urban communication systems. Her interests lie in creating spaces and objects that encourage participation and allow individuals to situate themselves within a larger context. In the past ten years, her practice has also focused on design, public art, social practice, and teaching that promote intergenerational and civic engagement.
