Laura Stein

Laura Stein is an American artist with a practice grounded in conceptual thinking and expression. Her work is project-based in a variety of mediums, from plants and rocks to photo, video and works on canvas, each a project of their own. She has examined how the natural world might ‘see’ human society, the pornography of guns and how these images influence the dialog. Laura’s work has been exhibited in numerous public and private institutions, including Museum of Modern Art/PS1, The New Museum, Aldrich and internationally at several kunstalle’s. Recently, she has created several public projects including an enigmatic micro-film that appeared on the Times Square jumbotrons and a fountain for the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany. Laura Stein currently lives in lower Manhattan and works in Brooklyn.
