Christy Speakman

Visual Artist

<p>Through experimentation in photography, video, and installation, I document and reconfigure the contemporary urban landscape, primarily at boundaries intersecting with nature.&nbsp; My interest in landscape stems from growing up near the swamp in New Orleans, studying in the rural Midwest; as well as traveling, studying and working in most of Central America and the Caribbean, Brazil, Croatia, Japan, and Eastern Europe.&nbsp; In 2002, I received a BA in Studio Art from the University of New Orleans, and in 2005, an MFA in Photography from Ohio University. &nbsp;Since then, I've participated in artist residencies at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (2005-2006), the Santa Fe Art Institute (2006), A Studio in the Woods (2007) and the Oregon College of Art &amp; Craft (2010), and participated in Artist in the Marketplace #29 at the Bronx Museum (2008-2009). &nbsp;Recent projects have been exhibited throughout the US and internationally; including recent group exhibitions at the Bronx River Art Center, James Hotel, NYC, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Octavia Arts Gallery, New Orleans for Prospect 1.5; and <em>Turning</em>, a solo exhibition at Webster University Art Gallery in Leiden, the Netherlands (2011). Upcoming&nbsp;projects include&nbsp;<em>Watershed </em>for USSSA, the NY in BA festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and <em>From Micro to Macro</em>, a three-person exhibition at Cuchifritos in NYC.</p> <p>For more, please visit: www.christyspeakman.com</p>
