Pia Habekost explores the duality of typography as abstract ornament versus actual meaning. Informed by instances of personal experience to current events in urban culture, her typographic formations address topics of sampling, interconnection, and remixed narrative.

Originally from Berlin, Pia last worked as an architect for Zaha Hadid in London and the multi-disciplinary collective NAU. She currently lives and works in Downtown Los Angeles.

In her most recent work, Pia translates the typographic explorations of her paintings into multi layered reliefs. The large scale textual sculptures seem to have organically grown beyond the canvas, creating a lace like ornament. Letters become abstract shapes, then turn into unique patterns of complex dimension.

In her most recent work, Pia Habekost collaborates with adNAU's Tino Schaedler to translate the typographic explorations of her paintings into large scale urban sculptures nestled between street art and site specific land art. The sculptures are woven into surfaces of existing architecture like 3d graffiti. Through subtraction and addition, the typographic swarms oscillate between ornament and built form transforming its context.
