This month, we revisit a conversation between artist María Korol and ART PAPERS editor + artistic director Sarah Higgins. They discuss María’s artist project for the Spring 2021 issue: Mimicry, Camouflage, Transformation, María’s practice more broadly, and how writing is entering that practice and influencing her work.
María Korol’s artistic practice is rooted in drawing, and includes explorations of three-dimensional formats, interdisciplinary collaboration, and writing. She is interested in storytelling and the imagination, history and its distortions, memory and transformation. Korol has shown her work at MOCA GA and Swan Coach House Gallery in Atlanta, The Painting Center in New York, and the Akademie der Künste in Berlin, among other places. She is a distinguished fellow of the Hambidge Center, the JUNGE AKADEMIE, and the Women’s Art Institute. She is the recipient of the 2020 Forward Arts Foundation Edge Award. Based in Atlanta, she is a visiting assistant professor of art at Morehouse College.
