Brian Tolle has exhibited his work in galleries, museums and public spaces around the world. His projects include, Skid Rows for the Queens Museum to debut in spring of 2005, The wind doth move silently invisibly for Cleveland Public Art (2004), WitchCatcher at City Hall, New York City (2003), the Irish Hunger Memorial in Battery Park City, New York (2002), Waylay for the Whitney Biennial and the Public Art Fund in Central Park (2002), Man’s Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe for Crossing the Line, Queens Museum of Art, New York (2001) and Eureka for Over the Edges Gent, Belgium (2000). His work emphasizes a formal and iconographic dialog with history and context to produce striking and subtle works that engage the public. Using a variety of media, his works draw themes from the scale and experience of their surroundings, provoking a re-reading by cross-wiring reality and fiction. Mr. Tolle received his MFA from Yale University, BFA from Parsons School of Design and his BA from SUNY at Albany. He is currently on the graduate faculty at Parsons School of Design.
