Artist Talk: Hope Ginsburg
March 10, 2020
Hope Ginsburg's long-term projects build community around learning. Her work is by turns collaborative, cooperative, and participatory. These artworks are made with peers, students, members of the public, and experts with knowledge from outside of the field. Rooted in first-hand experience, Ginsburg's projects are invested in the socially transformative potential of knowledge exchange. Her practice is interdisciplinary, social, and concerned with the well-being of humans and other species on our shared, catastrophically troubled planet. Ginsburg has exhibited nationally and internationally at venues such as MoMA PS1, MASS MoCA, Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, Wexner Center for the Arts, Kunst-Werke Berlin, Contemporary Art Center Vilnius, the Baltimore Museum of Art, SculptureCenter, and the Mercosul Biennial in Porto Alegre Brazil. She is the recipient of an Art Matters Foundation Grant and a Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship. Ginsberg is an Associate Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts.
