Ryan & Trevor
Oakes
Art/design
Twin brothers, Ryan and Trevor Oakes (Boulder, USA, 1982) have been engaged in a conversation about the nuances of vision since they were children. They explored their mutual fascination with vision throughout grade school and during college at Cooper Union's School of Art in New York City. Since graduating they've continued their dialogue through a body of jointly built art pieces that address human vision, light, perception, and the experience of space and depth in the particular way they have come to understand it.
The Oakes' artwork is held in the permanent collections of The Field Museum and the Spertus Museum in Chicago, and the New York Public Library. Their public art projects include a large-scale outdoor sculpture that debuted in Chicago's Millennium Park in the summer of 2009, and is now installed at O'Hare International Airport. They have exhibited and lectured about their artwork across the United States and abroad. Recently working with the Palazzo Strozzi Museum in Florence, Italy, and exhibiting at CUE Art Foundation in New York City. In the fall of 2011, the brothers did a drawing project at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. In the winter of 2012, they were in residence at The Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) in Troy, New York.
