Wendy Red Star

Wendy Red Star Work from her oeuvre. “Artist Wendy Red Star works across disciplines to explore the intersections of Native American ideologies and colonialist structures, both historically and in contemporary society.

Amanda Curreri

Amanda Curreri Work from COUNTRY HOUSE_ at Romer Young Gallery. “Curreri currently resides in a purple state in a city imprinted with the socio-geography of American racism.

Justin Morin Work from Poison at Galerie Jeanroch Dard. “Justin Morin’s multifaceted work is on view at Galerie Jeanroch Dard in the frame of his solo exhibition, the second at the gallery, titled Poison.

Micah Schippa

Micah Schippa Work from his Tools@Hand. Schippa’s statement is among the shortest I have seen (I am interested in translation between analog & digital, hand and machine.). Following an ongoing trend of techno-kitsch revival in new media, Schippa presents us with something that is familiar but at the same time inaccessible and foreign. His works […]

Christy Matson

Christy Matson Work from Soundw(e)ave. “A number of artists have started using textiles and needlework to explore the relationship between computer culture and craft. Here on Rhizome, we’ve recently covered Ben Fino-Radin, Sabrina Gschwandtner, Cat Mazza, and Cody Trepte, among others employing “traditional media” in the service of a technological critique.
