About this Event
The Weitzman Department of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania and the Institute of Contemporary Art are pleased to present an artist lecture and presentation with Sondra Perry.
Sondra Perry makes videos, performances, and installations that foreground digital tools as a way to critically reflect on new technologies of representation and remobilize their potential. Her works examine how images are produced in order to reveal the way photographic representations are captured and re-circulated. Perry was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, raised in New Jersey and North Texas, and has lived and worked in Newark, New Jersey since 2019. She received her MFA from Columbia University in 2015 and her BFA from Alfred University in 2012.
Perry’s solo exhibitions include Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland; Luma Westbau, Zürich; Institute of Contemporary Art Miami; Disjecta, Portland; Serpentine Sackler Gallery, London; Seattle Art Museum; Squeaky Wheel, Buffalo; The Kitchen, New York; and Institute for New Connotative Action, Seattle. Perry has participated in residencies at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, RECESS, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Ox-bow, Vermont Studio Center, and the Experimental Television Center.
This free public lecture is part of a series that gathers distinguished artists, activists, writers, and disruptors whose work engages with the social and cultural themes of our time.
