Brie Ruais

Brie Ruais (b. 1982, Souther California, USA). Ruais received her MFA from Columbia University’s School of the Arts in 2011. Ruais’ movement-based practice takes the form of large-scale wall-mounted ceramic sculpture, video, installation, and photography. Ruais has presented solo exhibitions at The Moody Center for the Arts, Houston, and Contemporary Craft, Pittsburgh.  Her work has been exhibited at public institutions including the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA; The Hayward Gallery, London, UK; The Everson, Syracuse, NY; the Katzen Center at American University, Washington, DC: and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.  Her work belongs in public and private collections across the United States, Central America, and Asia and has been featured in publications including Artforum, The New Yorker, and The New York Times.

Brie Ruais’s practice is grounded in relationality, beginning with the body and clay before expanding into the interconnected relationships that shape human, ecological, and material worlds. Through collaboration with clay, she explores somatic, pre-cognitive knowledge informed by phenomenology, embodied practice, and the poetic dimensions of language. Each work begins with 130 pounds of clay—the artist’s body weight—placed on the floor and activated through a choreographed sequence of movements developed through research and intuition. Circular forms unfold into bursts, vortexes, voids, and petal-like fractals which are then torn, cut, and divided into fragments that map a larger whole. These sections are glazed, fired, and reassembled into works that occupy the span of an outstretched body, inviting viewers into a physical encounter. Working across ceramic sculpture, video, and installation, Ruais pushes the limits of both material and body to explore ways of making sense of a complex social, political, and ecological world. Ruais lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
