Object Objects reviewed by Artists’ Book Reviews Blog!
I am delighted that my artist’s book, Object Objects, received a fantastic review from Artists Book Reviews. Making this book was a real labor of love. I am deeply grateful for Eric Morris-Pusey’s thoughtful articulation of the book’s (and my work’s) layers. May 2021

Artist Residency at the Grand Marais Art Colony
I completed a two-week residency on the shores of Lake Superior in Northern Minnesota was a powerful respite from the long pandemic year in Minneapolis/St. Paul. I worked on developing a new body of work reflecting on the sun, my father’s research in solar energy in the late 70’s, grieving and loss, and our unrelenting use of oil and it’s destructive results.

Review of The Small Parts Exhibition at Rosalux Gallery, Minneapolis in INREVIEW by Alexis Zanghi. Summer 2018
“The Small Parts” feels at once clinical and deeply personal. Here, veneer is something that illuminates rather than obfuscates, and the effect on the viewer is uncanny and disorienting.”
Review of The Small Parts Exhibition at Rosalux Gallery, Minneapolis in INREVIEW by Leia Wambach. Summer 2018
“Kaplow’s works are native to their own impermanence. They may offer moments of clarity, but return to inky ambiguity or are reshuffled into something else.”
Twin Cities Public Television broadcasts profile of Shana Kaplow on MN Original. Spring 2014.
Shana Kaplow is awarded the 2013 Joan Mitchell Foundation Artists Grant for Painters and Sculptors.
Review of Close to Home at Rosalux Gallery in ArtPulse Magazine, by Christina Schmid. Spring 2014.
“At once restrained and gestural, Kaplow’s visual language is at home in the interrogative. The work conveys a deep interest in form but is not constrained by formalism. The tangible ease with her materials allows the artist to plumb possibilities: What emerges from the space in between deliberate gestures? What do ordinary objects reveal about the shape of our world, the web of economic entanglements that structure our everyday?”
