Meet n’ Greet: Announcing Our Critic-In-The-Field

Adrienne Crossman

KAPSULA is virtually vibrating with excitement that artist and curator Adrienne Crossman will be our designated writer attending the Ideas Digital Forum 2018 , offering her embodied, critical response to the event.

Adrienne Crossman is an interdisciplinary new media artist, educator and curator working in Hamilton and Windsor, Ontario. She holds an MFA in Visual Art from the University of Windsor (2018), and a BFA in Integrated Media with a Minor in Digital and Media Studies from OCAD University (2012). Her practice investigates the liminality between the digital and the physical while highlighting queer sensibilities in the everyday. Crossman is interested in how the terms trans* and non-binary apply to media as well as gender, and she creates queer interventions through the manipulation of digital media and popular culture with a focus on the queer potentiality of the non-human. Her curatorial practice involves a strong emphasis on fostering community within the digital new media art world and bridging the gap between virtual and physical space. Adrienne has completed (IRL) residencies in Syracuse (NY), Montréal (QC), Artscape Gibraltar Point on the Toronto Islands (ON), and Studio Beat (studio-beat.com), and has exhibited at: Xpace Cultural Centre (Toronto, Ontario), Idea Exchange (Cambridge, Ontario), 8eleven (Toronto, Ontario), Studio L’Eloi (Montreal, Quebec), Moscow Biennale for Young Art (Moscow, Russia), and The Wrong New Digital Art Biennale (thewrong.org). Adrienne is currently working as a sessional instructor in the School of the Arts at McMaster University in Hamilton.

Adrienne is also a past contributor to KAPSULA. You can see her artwork featured in our 2014 tongue-in-cheek homage to Valentine’s Day, MAKING LOVE.
