The Moody’s spring 2018 artist-in-residence will be the acclaimed British artist Cornelia Parker. Best known for her innovative installation and sculptural work, Parker often collaborates across disciplines and explores topics ranging from psychoanalysis to scientific theory and gun violence.

In 2016-17 Parker was the first female artist commissioned to create a new work on the roof garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was named Apollo magazine’s artist of the year, and served as the U.K.’s official election artist. Her work can be found in numerous public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Tate Gallery (London) and the De Young Museum (San Francisco).

While in residence, Parker will engage with both Rice students and the Houston community while making new work in the Moody’s Pitman Studio for artists.
