Personal life and education

Morris was born in Sevenoaks, Kent, in south-east England, on 20 June 1967.[3]:{{{3}}} She attended Cambridge University,[4]:{{{3}}} Brown University from 1985 to 1989, and the Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program in 1989–90.[3]:{{{3}}} In 1999–2000, she was a Berlin Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin; in 2001, she received a Joan Mitchell Foundation painting award.[5] Morris was married to artist Liam Gillick;[4]:{{{3}}} they divorced in 2012.[6][not in citation given]

Morris creates both films and paintings. She sees the two media as interconnected, describing film and painting practices as “two sides of the same coin”. Her films and paintings are sometimes created simultaneously and may reference one another visually and thematically.[7] Morris is known for her abstract paintings that feature bright color fields and graphic line work. Her paintings often reference elements of architecture and take titles from bureaucratic institutions.[8]

Morris makes films that focus on particular cities or individuals. Films like Midtown, Chicago, and Rio depict urban scenes, focusing on the architecture, politics, industry and leisure.[9] Other films describe a place through the viewpoint of an individual, like psychologist Dr. George Sieber describing the terrorist event at the Olympic Stadium in Munich in the film 1972.[10]

In 2011 Morris was sued by a group of six origami artists, including Robert J. Lang. They alleged that in 24 works in her "Origami" series of paintings Morris had without permission or credit copied their original crease patterns, coloured them, and sold them as "found" or "traditional" designs.[1]:{{{3}}} Morris acknowledged that she used the crease patterns as a "launch pad" for her paintings. Julie A. Ahrens, Director of Copyright and Fair Use at Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society and the rest of her legal team "struggled to pin down the aesthetic value of the CPs" (crease patterns) from a copyright and fair use perspective.[11] The case was settled out of court early in 2013; under the settlement, the creators of the crease patterns are to be given credit when the works are displayed.[12]:{{{3}}}[13]:{{{3}}}

Morris has had solo shows at Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin (2001),[14] Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2005),[15] Fondation Beyeler in Basel (2008),[16] Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt (2009),[17]:{{{3}}} Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna (2009),[18] and fr (Musée National Fernand Léger) in Biot (2012).[19]
