Amina Ross
Amina Ross is an artist whose practice scrutinizes the subtle workings of systems of power and their influence on sense perception and behavior. Ross' creative output spans video, sound, sculpture and installation, emphasizing nonlinear storytelling, free association and plural meaning. Their work has been recently exhibited at Ruffin Gallery (University of Virginia), Someday (New York, NY), the Hessel Museum of Art (Hudson, NY), the Tang Teaching Museum (Saratoga Springs, NY) and Sentiment (Zurich, CH). Ross will showcase their new experimental glass sculptures at MoMA PS1 in the group exhibition 'Hard Ground,' curated by Jody Graf, opening May 2024. In the summer of 2023 they were a featured artist at the 68th annual Flaherty Film Seminar: Queer World Mending and in 2024 they were a Macdowell Fellow. Currently, Ross is the 2023-2024 Estelle Lebowitz Artist in Residence at Rutgers University. They recently completed residencies at Fire Island Artist Residency, Skowhegan School of Sculpture and Painting, Wave Hill, Abrons Art Center, and Harvestworks. They hold a BFA from SAIC and an MFA from Yale School of Art, where they received the Fannie B. Pardee Prize in sculpture.
