Trulee Hall
Trulee Hall was born in 1976 and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She received her BFA from Atlanta College of Art in 1999 and her MFA from CalArts in 2006. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Hall’s richly textured practice spans video, painting, sculpture, sound, dance, and immersive installation, routinely employing diverse technical skills gleaned from her prior work in various creative industries. Hall began working in performance, music, and video as an adolescent and developed a complex practice involving immersive sets, elaborate costumes, puppetry, claymation, CGI, and sound. Her paintings, sculptures, and installations integrate with and inform facets of her videos and soundtracks in an overarching practice. Her choreographed videos of non-narrative, surreal, feminist/erotic, philosophical, and symbolic systems employ a fiercely playful sense of humor, a patient appreciation for the mundane, and a love of the absurd.
Hall’s work has been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Rubell Museum in Miami, the Zabludowicz Collection in London, the Villa Schöningen in Berlin, the Chuang Collection in Taiwan, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Barrick Museum of Art in Los Vegas, Queensland Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Deitch Projects in Los Angeles, The Armory Show in New York City, Paramount Studios for Frieze Art Fair, REDCAT, Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND), Maccarone Gallery, and François Ghebaly Gallery, among numerous other exhibitions and film screenings internationally.
