The School of Visual Lecture presents an artist talk by Noelle Choy.
Noelle's Choy work lives mostly as performative sculpture, objects, and video to seek counter-narratives in cultural mythmaking and the phenomenon of getting big inside our bodies. Often working in collaboration, she uses improvised methods and materials to distort biographies, thinking about reenactment, dogs, and mothers. She received a BFA in Sculpture+Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University, and an MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art. She has exhibited and performed both nationally and internationally, including Socrates Sculpture Park, Christies at Rockefeller Center, Satellite Art Fair, Proyecto Píkaro, and Snug Harbor Cultural Center, among others. She has been awarded residencies and fellowships from Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, ACRE, Bunker Projects (Pittsburgh), Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, The Color Network, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, the AICAD Post-Graduate Teaching Program, and the Seebacher Prize for Fine Arts. She is currently an Assistant Professor at Kansas City Art Institute in the Painting department.
