LRVS Visiting Artist Lecture Series: Lindsey White

PNCA’s Low Residency MFA in Visual Studies program is thrilled to welcome Lindsey White for a lecture on her work and practice.

Lindsey White is an artist living in San Francisco, CA. Through photography, video, performance, and sculpture, her work considers the professional and amateur worlds of magic, comedy, and other staged professions to pit cartoonish occurrences against the mundane physicality of everyday life. She has exhibited at venues such as San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery; Sydhavn Station, Copenhagen; Bolinas Museum, California; Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco; ACME., Los Angeles; White Columns, New York; The Art Gym at Marylhurst University, Oregon; Boca Raton Museum of Art; San Francisco International Airport Museum; and Museum Bärengasse, Zurich. White was awarded SFMOMA's 2017 SECA Award and residencies at Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, California, and Kala Art Institute, Berkeley. White was an Associate Professor and Photography Department Chair at the San Francisco Art Institute before it closed in 2022. White is also a co-founder of the para-curatorial experiment Will Brown, which has realized projects with institutions such as U.C. Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive; CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco; di Rosa, Napa; Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University; and KADIST, San Francisco. White’s projects have been featured in the New York Times, Frieze, Art Forum, The New Yorker, KQED Arts, SF Chronicle, and Contemporary Art Daily. Additionally, her projects have been funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and Creative Work Fund. She has a new book, "What? Is? Art?" coming out on Colpa Press this spring along with a solo exhibition, "Fantastico!" at Casemore Gallery in San Francisco.
