Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Emory Hall is an artist exploring the relationships between myth, health and toxicity. Collisions between the kitchen and the studio provide material for new futures of consumption. How will chefs shape the future?
Through material studies using a recipe of gelatin and glycerin, the process has shaped a language of tools and architectural fragments pertaining to the realization of the future. Stainless steel's ubiquity in kitchens transforms itself into gates, scaffolding and structural forms to hold ideas dreamt up while working in an industrial kitchen. The future appears gilded, mimetic, decayed and full of contradictions. Spending the previous year at CalArts gave access to focus on worldbuilding, particularly with building iterations of tables, ovens, floor mats and doorways. The focus on the structure, and threading magic through material has opened up her conceptual ideas of technology and alchemy. The future of cooking technologies doesn't have to be automated, plastic or even unrecognizable. It can be beautiful.
Lives and works in Los Angeles. A former line cook, art director and commercial food stylist, she has worked as a chef at artist residencies (ACRE Projects, Oxbow School of Art.)
