Sheila Pepe

Sheila Pepe is a Brooklyn-based artist best known for making large, labor intensive installations on-site throughout the U.S. Since 1994, her material-based commissions have been for the most part completely ephemeral, punctuated by a variety of more lasting objects and statements. Pepe has had numerous solo museum exhibitions—most recently, at the Smith College Museum of Art in the summer of 2008. She has also been included in group shows at venues such as PS1/MoMA, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and the Boston ICA.
