Kari Marboe is a Bay Area artist and Assistant Professor at California College of the Arts, San Francisco, CA. She holds an MFA from the University of California, Berkeley and a BFA from California College of the Arts. Marboe’s research-based, ceramic works have been presented at 500 Capp Street/Southern Exposure, CA, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, CA, The Museum of Craft and Design, CA, Wave Pool Gallery, OH, The Museum of Northern California Art, CA, Jacksonville University, FL, and the Waffle Shop Billboard, PA.


Her current project, Duplicating Daniel, is a collaborative exhibition project with Mills College Art Museum (MCAM). The exhibition traces Marboe’s attempts to recreate an original sculpture, recorded as missing from MCAM’s permanent collection, by the influential but under-recognized ceramicist Daniel Rhodes. The only remaining evidence of this sculpture is its accession date (1975, gift of the artist) and a murky black and white photograph.


Organized each year in conjunction with the Studio Art MFA program, the Mills College Art Museum and the Department of Art and Visual Culture, the Mills College Art Lecture Series allows students and faculty to invite contemporary artists and scholars to campus in order to gain greater perspective on current ideas and practices in the contemporary art world.


Free and open to the public.
