Biography:
sarah bricke is a transdisciplinary practitioner and scholar. She is primarily concerned with the ways in which seemingly disparate landscapes, bodies, and processes are both distinct and inextricably linked, and how these paradoxical relationships are represented, perceived, and preserved through institutional and archival practices.
Her practice merges research, scholarship, materials, mediums, and modes of production in ways which serve to trouble dominant narratives and existing orders and structure. She is interested in radical processes of rethinking, re-embodying, and re-imagining. Working through photographic processes, performance lecture, critical theory, electronic literature, and poetry, she engages in the production of objects, images, and texts as a mechanism to facilitate dialogues around them: she is involved with constructing as a continual process in which things don’t become completely defined and can’t be considered completely understood or fully realized.
She is particularly interested in art that arises in the ruins of the built environment and artists that create long-term and/or large-scale work without receiving formal training, recognition, or institutional support.
sarah holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is at work on a transmedia project concerning the life and work of the artist Alvin Baltrop.
