Michael O’Malley

Michael O’Malley builds sculptures and installations that focus on engaging the aesthetics and conventions that shape the built environment.  Employing strategies of play, pleasure, and interaction, he centers on the shifting dimensions of the built environment, kinesthetic experience, and social relations. He is a professor of art at Pomona College, Claremont, California.

In his current work, ideas about social practice, community, and sustainable art practice have become his focus. He is currently growing wheat and building a mobile bakery that he will take on the road for workshops and performances. His work has been shown nationally.

O’Malley received an MFA from Stanford University, California.
