Eli Ping (b. 1977 Chicago, Illinois) is based in New York. Eli Ping is invested in how objects function as phenomena, their forms documenting their own becoming. His Motes and Monocarp series and his canvas paintings encapsulate the approach by folding and unfolding, opening up a spatial dimension within solid matter. His works have been exhibited at Sea View, Los Angeles; Clearing, New York; AND-NOW, Dallas; Ramiken Crucible, New York; Bernheim, Zurich and Lubov, New York.
