Morgan Ritter is a Jewish artist, poet and mother whose intermedia practice is driven by dreaming and play, yet responds to, and at times subverts current cultural realities. Her practice contains drawings, sculpture, poetic text, html webpages and textiles. As within hypnagogic states, object, action, sensation, and language interchange freely in her work. Her work has been exhibited at Noon Projects (LA), Artists Space (NY), Shanaynay (Paris), PICA, The Whitney Biennial 2017 (NY), a light bulb store, an orchard, MoMA (NY), and many other conventional and less conventional venues for experiencing art. She is the recipient of grants from Oregon Arts Commission and Foundation for Contemporary Art, among others. Ritter has attended several residencies including Anderson Ranch and Ken Kesey’s Farm. Her work has been featured in Art Forum, Art Practical, Art Viewer, e-flux, W Magazine & Vice. This website is an ever changing and inconclusive log of her work.
