Kate Newby (born 1979) is an artist from New Zealand.[1]

Background

Newby was born in 1979 in the Auckland region of New Zealand.[2] She attended the Elam School of Fine Arts, receiving a BFA in 2001, an MFA in 2007, and a PhD in 2015.[3] The title of her doctoral thesis was Casualness: it's not about what it looks like it's about what it does.[4] Newby lives and works in Brooklyn, New York and Auckland.[5]

Career

Newby is a mixed materials installation artist.[6][7] She creates her installations based on their site and setting, often disused urban environments.[8] Using commonplace materials such as pebbles, nails, and rope, her work explores the details of everyday life.[9]

Newby was a member of the Auckland artist space Gambia Castle.[10] She is represented in New York by the Laurel Gitlen gallery[11] and in Auckland by Michael Lett.[12]

Newby's work was exhibited at the 21st Sydney Biennale (2018), at the Brussels Biennal (2008), among other important arts festivals. Work by Newby is held by the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki.
