Terry Berlier (born 1972, in Cincinnati, Ohio)[1] is an artist and sculptor whose work addresses themes of the environment and queer practice.[2] She has taught in the Stanford University Department of Art and Art History since 2007, and currently serves as an Associate Professor and the Director of the Sculpture Lab.[3] Her sculptures, which frequently incorporate elements of sound and interactivity, have been described as "cumbersome, mildly comical contraptions."[4]
Berlier has exhibited in solo and group shows both nationally and internationally including the Contemporary Jewish Museum of San Francisco, Catherine Clark Gallery, Southern Exposure, San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, Thomas Welton Stanford Art Gallery at Stanford University, Montalvo Arts Center, Weston Art Gallery, Babel Gallery in Norway, Richard L. Nelson Gallery, Center for Contemporary Art in Sacramento, Kala Art Institute Gallery, San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, Natural Balance in Girona Spain and FemArt Mostra D’Art De Dones in Barcelona Spain.[5]
Berlier holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Miami University in Ohio and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the University of California, Davis.[6] In 2012, she participated as an artist-in-residence at San Francisco Recology's Art At The Dump program,[7] and since 2013 has served on its board.[3]
During her time as artist-in-residence at Recology, Berlier obtained raw material for her work from the dump. Though not all of her materials are found objects, she said that, "appropriated objects have had an ongoing presence in my work. The found object has had a long history in art and I had actually found myself moving away from it in projects prior to the Recology residency."[7]
