Biography

Moving between two and three-dimensions, Daniel Gordon’s practice appropriates images of still-life subjects he finds on the Internet. Printing the images on paper before cutting them out, he then assembles a three-dimensional tableau in the studio which is subsequently photographed, linking handmade and digital-based processes and materials. Gordon’s work transforms the quotidian: tennis rackets and trainers hint at the routine of exercise, and are paired with other accoutrements of daily life including batteries and cutlery. Gordon converts his downloaded imagery from immaterial data to material objects and back again. In doing so, his work points to the proliferation of imagery and photographic representation and suggests that these have become symbiotic with, rather than symbolic of, the physical world.

Daniel Gordon was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1980. He received a BA from Bard College, New York in 2003 before graduating with an MFA from Yale University in 2006. Gordon’s work has been published in numerous monographs and he has been exhibited internationally in major art institutions, such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, Pier 24, San Francisco and Foam Museum, Amsterdam among others.

Gordon lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
