Morgan Craig Dialectics and the Decommodified: The Spectre of Capital

Artist Statement

​I believe that architectural structures acting as both repositories and as vehicles for
memory profoundly influence culture and identity by providing a tangible framework
through which facets of a society can be expressed. Consequently, I have been inspired to
build a body of work dealing with how identity is influenced by the types of architectural
edifices present in a given landscape. My work is not merely a method of documentation,
but a sociopolitical/socioeconomic commentary on the effects of hubris, avarice, free
trade, outsourcing, deregulation, deterritorialization, neoliberalism, obsolescence, and
international-finance-capital upon communities throughout the world. Within the realm
of Jacques Derrida’s theory of Hauntology, the paintings speak of the slow disintegration
of the future, and the abysmal fragmentation of the past.

Craig has received numerous awards including, the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant (2009, 2019), the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant (2007, 2011), and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fellowship (2006, 2008). He has also been invited to residencies including, Cite Internationale des Arts, the Macdowell Colony, UCross, Proekt Fabrika in Moscow, and Red Gate in Beijing.
