KRISTEN MORGIN STUDIO VISIT
Saturday July 12th, 2025
Join us for a tour of the one-and-only Kristen Morgin’s studio and library-museum. Kristen has generously offered to host us at the home-studio she shares with Julie Schustack. We will get a tour of her latest project: a library/museum of artworks, books, collectibles and more. Plus, Kristen will give us a tour of Julie's incredible garden on wheels, and we’ll end with an early potluck dinner.
Please Note: A heads-up for those with allergies, the artists share their home with three cats (and there are three more who hang out in the garden).
Location: Gardena, CA
RSVP for the address.

This is the second Field Trip in an ongoing series hosted by The Infinite School where we'll travel around the LA region to exhibitions, artist studios, and other intriguing clay-related spaces!
Kristen Morgin, whose work is formed with a mixture of clay, glue, cement and other media, comes from a ceramic background but goes far beyond traditional uses of the medium. Her sculptures have an affinity to the constructions of George Herms, Edward Keinholz, and Michael McMillen, but evoke relics of contemporary culture that may have been buried and unearthed at a later date. Toys, books, comics and other objects are rendered true to scale in unfired clay and recall the artist’s childhood. Corroding surfaces evoke mortality, decay and the passage of time. Eccentric narratives and playful juxtapositions come together to form new objects with unexpected connotations.
Morgin was born in 1968 in Brunswick, Georgia. She completed her BA at California State University, Hayward, and her MFA at Alfred University. Morgin’s work is in the permanent collections of institutions such as Los Angeles County Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Hammer Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami, and The Rubell Family Collection. Her work has been included in exhibitions such as The Thing (Hammer Museum, Los Angeles), UnMonumental (New Museum, New York) and the Istanbul Biennial, curated by Jens Hoffman. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
