Ceal Floyer

Ceal Floyer Cv

Ceal Floyer's clarity of thought and the elegantly concise presentation of her ideas resonate through all areas of her practice. The deceptive simplicity of the work is informed by Floyer's particular sense of humour and an awareness of the absurd; her use of double-takes and shifting points of view forces the viewer to renegotiate his perception of the world. Floyer often uses everyday or readymade objects, exploring the dialectical tension between the literal and the mundane, and an imaginative construction of meaning.

Ceal Floyer has recently been included in the Guangzhou Triennial, Guangdong, 2012-2013 and dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel, 2012. Her solo exhibitions include DHC/ART Foundation for Contemporary Art, Montreal, Canada, 2011; Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA), Miami, FL, 2010; Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France, 2009; Kunst-Werker Berlin e.V. – KW Institute for Contemporary Art Berlin, Germany 2009 and MADRE, Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donna Regina, Naples, Italy, 2008.
