Alicia Eggert (American, b. 1981) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice gives material form to language and time across a variety of mediums and a vast range of scales, from small carved stones to monumental sculptures. Her work emerges from the tension between the time we measure and the time we experience, and from a desire to make something intangible briefly perceptible.
Eggert's work is held in collections including the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery, Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at UC Davis, New Holland Island (St. Petersburg, Russia), and significant private collections. She recently completed large-scale public sculpture projects for the cities of Fort Worth, TX, and Alexandria, VA. Eggert has exhibited at notable institutions including the CAFA Art Museum in Beijing, Triennale Design Museum in Milan, Everson Museum of Art, and Telfair Museums. Recent solo exhibitions include UrbanGlass (Brooklyn, NY), Arlington Museum of Art (Arlington, TX), Galeria Fernando Santos (Porto, Portugal), and Art Museum of Southeast Texas (Beaumont, TX). The artist has received a TED Fellowship, Long Now Foundation Fellowship, Hopper Prize, S&R Foundation Washington Award, Harpo Foundation Direct Artist Grant, Nasher Sculpture Center Artist Microgrant, and Maine Arts Commission Artist Fellowship.
Eggert is a tenured Professor of Studio Art at the University of North Texas. She lives and works in Denton, Texas.
