Tracey Snelling
Through the use of sculpture, photography, video, and installation, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place, its people and their experience. Often, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings, sometimes creating a sense of mystery, other times stressing the mundane.
Snelling has shown work in museums such as Gemeentemuseum Helmond in the Netherlands, Shanghai Zendai MOMA in China, The Museum of Arts and Design in New York, Kunstmuseen Krefeld in Germany, El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica in Bogota, and Stenersen Museet in Oslo. She has had solo exhibitions throughout the US as well as in China, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and London, and has been awarded residencies in Beijing and Shanghai. Her large-scale installation Woman on the Run was originally commissioned by Selfridges, London during Frieze 2008, and has traveled to Smack Mellon in Brooklyn, 21c Museum in Louisville, Frist in Nashville, SECCA in Winston-Salem, and the Virginia MOCA in Virginia Beach. Her first short film "Nothing" premiered at the San Francisco International Film Festival 2012, and showed at the Thessaloniki Film Festival, Circuito Off in Venice, and the AC Institute in New York.
