Irén Tété
Irén Tété (Sofia, Bulgaria/ San Diego, CA) is a sculptor whose practice centers ceramic materials, architecture, and language. Investigating poetic and theoretical systems of thought, seeing, and navigation, her sculptures collapse language of the industrial-infrastructural and human-organic.
Recent exhibitions include solo shows at the Sarasota Art Center (Sarasota, FL), Union University (Jackson, TN), Galleri Urbane (Dallas, TX), and Gallery 371 (Calgary, Canada). Recent group exhibitions include biennials in Italy and Latvia and shows at Kouri + Corrao (Santa Fe, NM), the Dallas Art Fair, and Untitled Art, Miami Beach. Tete has participated in residencies at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (Omaha, NE), Hambidge Center (Rabun Gap, GA), the Archie Bray Foundation (Helena, MT), Zentrum fur Keramik (Berlin, Germany), and will be in residence at the Wassaic Project (Amenia, NY) in 2025.
