About the Artists
Lee Materazzi (born Fairfax, VA) from Miami, FL now living in San Francisco, CA. In
2005 she received her BFA from Central St. Martins in London.
“When visiting her studio it wasn't the mess that struck me as extraordinary but the
size of the chairs. Materazzi shares her studio with her two young daughters, Mia,
11 and Brook, 8. In conversation, she consistently refers to the studio as ours . The
tone with which she says this is important. It’s not said as generous platitude. It's a
matter of fact. Their drawings, sculptures, and experiments migrate in and out of
Materazzi’s camera frame. Other times, their discarded or in-progress experiments
inform the sculptures and sets Materazzi builds for her documented performances.
Their uninhibited presence fills the otherwise silent space of tedium that takes place
between the inception of a good idea and its execution. Where one’s work ends and
the other begins isn’t obvious. Mess, play, success, and failure commingle
throughout their inadvertent collaborations.” Rel Robinson
Lee Materazzi’s work has been shown internationally and is a part of numerous public
art collections including The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, The Sagamore
Collection, the Scholl Collection at World Class Boxing and The Perez Art Museum
where she was Included in “My Body My Rules”.
