Working Title: Professor Evan Reed
Working Title is an exhibition of three-dimensional forms made by Evan Reed. The displayed
objects range from models to refined pieces. They are developed as side projects, a way to let off
creative steam in between the production of more thematically cohesive groups of sculpture.
These smaller objects attempt to address, more expeditiously, the creative "what if,” without
becoming bogged down with internal conceptual chatter.
Evan Reed is a Northern Virginia-based artist who works across the disciplines of drawing, sculpture, furniture making, and treenware. Reed's creative practice focuses on the power of communicating through formal elements and tapping into the symbolic potential of materials.
Reed has participated in solo and group exhibitions in the U.S. and internationally, including shows at the Ludwig Forum in Aachen, Germany, Field Projects in New York City, and IA&A at Hillyer in Washington D.C. He has received several grants and awards for his sculpture including, The Franz Bader Fund, The Fairfax County Commission of Fine Arts, Strauss Fellowship, and a Berkshire Taconic Foundation Grant. Reed’s exhibitions have been reviewed in the Washington Post, The Washington City Paper, and WETA Around Town.
Evan Reed currently is a Full Professor of the Practice, teaching sculpture in the Department of Art and Art History at Georgetown University.
