Park McArthur is an artist who experiments with personal and social meanings of debility, delay and dependency under the guidance and instruction of disability. Her work has been described as questioning care alongside questions of autonomy and dependency. Her sculptures and conceptually driven installations are often composed of utilitarian materials such as blocks of foam or a Wikipedia entry. “Although the social and practical dimension of making art varies from piece to piece, I am consistently interested in finding ways of understanding debility and dependency as a generative space. As such, my work often comes from personal experience but seeks to arrive (or join) a space that exceeds the individual person.
Recent solo exhibitions include Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland; Maxwell Graham / Essex Street, New York; and The Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 2019 McArthur joined The Department of Art & Design at Rutgers University The State University of New Jersey as Tepper Family Endowed Chair.
