V & A is pleased to present Megan Pflug in Part II, her second solo exhibit with the gallery.

For this exhibition, Pflug installs larger than life works on paper, and geometric painted sculptures that function as dynamic surfaces for composited imagery. Both the larger works on paper and the sculptures are made using a combination of digital technology and traditional methods that she describes as an “expression of the elevation of craft.” Influenced early on by the beauty and simplicity of handmade objects, Pflug positions that inspiration within the stoic spirituality of minimalism, and non-linear narratives of surrealist film. This exhibition features a series of large-scale transfers composed of spacescapes joined with landscape or classical subject matter. The hybrid imagery Pflug chose for this body of work reflects her exploration of abstraction and physical space that together suggest “states” of mind and being. Constructed from found imagery and photographs she has taken, Pflug is interested in finding the places where images and/or materials are so opposed that they are more alike that different; like the way picture taken from inside the body resemble photos of distant consolations.

Pflug has exhibited in group shows and productions in New York for the past 5 years. Most recently her work has been exhibited in The Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC as part of an artists initiative, and she was one of the artists in residence with the Swiss Institute at The Armory Show in 2006 performing a craft seminar. Megan Pflug was born in 1977 in Missouri and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received her B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design and her M.F.A. from Columbia University.
