KYLE MORLAND

Kyle Morland is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture, photography and video. His practice centres around the manipulation of material, experimentation with form and spatial relations. Morland realises his ideas within the context of self-imposed formal constraints —responding to challenges he sets for himself in creating the work. His sculptures, in particular, express a playful engagement with proportion, balance and dimensionality.

Morland has held seven solo and two-person exhibitions to date, most recently his untitled exhibition at blank projects in 2018. He has participated in several group exhibitions, both locally and internationally, in Now and Then: Kyle Morland / El Loko at Zeitz MOCCA (2017), Off the Wall atWITS Art Museum (2016) and Flag New York City as part of Performa 13 in New York (2013). In 2018, Morland was artist-in-residence at the A4 Arts Foundation in Cape Town as part of the exhibition Parallel Play.
