ABOUT THE CURATORLaura Splan is a New York City based artist working at the intersections of Science, Technology, and Culture. Her research-based studio practice culminates in multimedia artworks, exhibitions, and events. With an approach grounded in what she calls the “GUI/gooey”, her work reframes artifacts of the posthuman landscape to interrogate the liminal spaces that mediate our relationship to nature and to our bodies. Her experimental curatorial projects serve as intersectional spaces to facilitate affinities and connections among artists in all media. Splan’s artworks and exhibitions have been presented at the Brooklyn Museum (NYC), Musea Brugge (Bruges), Museum of Arts & Design (NYC), Centre d’Art Santa Mònica (Barcelona), Pioneer Works (NYC), SÍM (Reykjavík), Galerie FOFA (Montréal), Onassis ONX (NYC), and The Nobel Prize Museum at Liljevalchs (Stockholm). A commission of her new work will be presented at Beall Center for Art+Technology for Getty's PST Art + Science Collide Initiative in Fall 2024.
