Available Works

Elizabeth Atterbury

Elizabeth Atterbury (b. 1982, West Palm Beach, FL) received a BFA from Hampshire College and an MFA from MassArt. She lives and works in Portland, Maine. Recent solo exhibitions include Mrs. (Queens), Document (Chicago), The Colby College Museum of Art (Waterville, ME) and kijidome (Boston). She has been in two person and group exhibitions at the Portland Museum of Art (Portland, ME), Kate Werble (New York), Et al. Etc (San Francisco), and Bodega (New York) among others.

Atterbury’s studio practice is fluid, fluctuating between picture making and object making, relying on a series of glyphs that the artist has created to form a coded language. Fascinated with the autonomy of the artifact – objects disassociated from their original function and context – Atterbury’s practice considers the distinction or lack thereof between artifact, prop, model and sculpture.  In her monotype prints that combine chine collé and embossing techniques, Atterbury constructs ephemeral tableaux specifically for the purpose of transfiguring and recording them. Both her photographs and sculpture build upon a continued interest in display and its visual structures, along with a more recent interest in language, ritual, and abstraction.

The gallery has organized more than 50 solo exhibitions since its opening in 2012 and actively promotes the work of emerging national and international artists.Since 2016, DOCUMENT started exhibiting historical artists and has continued to anchor its program in a conversation between emerging voices and established figures. Operating conjointly as a professional printmaking studio, DOCUMENT facilitates the production of works by artists from Chicago and the US. The production studio allows some of the gallery artists to collaborate with DOCUMENT in both their exhibitions and their daily artistic practice by being in constant conversation about the realization and processes in their work.
