About this Event
Join us for a conversation between Phoebus Osborne and Amina Ross on the occasion of Oh, it’s my ass and my anus, Osborne’s solo exhibition at Parent Company Gallery. Together, they will discuss the immersive installation’s exploration of underground and interior spaces as sites of resistance, intimacy, and imagination. The talk will delve into Osborne’s interdisciplinary practice and the collaborative process behind the exhibition’s layered visual and sonic environment. Oh, it’s my ass and my anus is on view from November 13 - January 10, 2026.

Phoebus Osborne (b. 1984) is an artist based in Queens, NY. His practice engages material traces of nonlinear relationships through a matrix of film, sculpture, performance, drawing, writing, and sound. Extending from his lived experience with chronic pain, he contemplates the accelerating illnesses of the planet at large and considers how modes of relationship can empower resilience and enable repair. His works have been presented within the US and Europe, including commissioned works at Transmediale Berlin, La Caldera Barcelona, SFMoMA, Oakland Museum of California, Lenfest Center for the Arts, and The Poetry Project. His work has been exhibited at e-flux Bar Laika, Southern Exposure, and Transmediale Berlin. Osborne has received the Impulstanz DanceWEB Fellowship, Hercules Art Studio Residency, the A.I.R. Gallery Fellowship, and Artistic Fellowship at The Academy of Theater & Dance in Amsterdam. Since 2023, his performance work has been presented online by Lucid. He holds an MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University and an MA in Choreography from DAS Graduate School in Amsterdam. He is an adjunct faculty member at Parsons, The New School, Columbia University, and in Amsterdam at DAS Graduate School and the Academy of Theater and Dance.
Amina Ross is an artist whose practice scrutinizes the subtle workings of systems of power and their influence on sense perception and behavior. Ross’ creative output spans video, sound, sculpture, and installation, emphasizing nonlinear storytelling, free association, and plural meaning. Their work has been recently exhibited at Ruffin Gallery (University of Virginia), Someday (New York, NY), the Hessel Museum of Art (Hudson, NY), the Tang Teaching Museum (Saratoga Springs, NY), and Sentiment (Zurich, CH). Ross will showcase their new experimental glass sculptures at MoMA PS1 in the group exhibition ‘Hard Ground,’ curated by Jody Graf, opening May 2024. In the summer of 2023, they were a featured artist at the 68th annual Flaherty Film Seminar: Queer World Mending, and in 2024, they were a Macdowell Fellow. Currently, Ross is the 2023-2024 Estelle Lebowitz Artist in Residence at Rutgers University. They recently completed residencies at Fire Island Artist Residency, Skowhegan School of Sculpture and Painting, Wave Hill, Abrons Art Center, and Harvestworks.
