"This Other Mind"
Kerry Tribe, is an interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. Known for expansive and profound works in film, video and mixed media, her practice explores elusive aspects of human consciousness including memory, love and doubt. As the title of this talk may suggest, Kerry has a strong curiosity for understanding how the minds of others’ work, which inevitably reveals to her something about her own.
Recent projects consider text messaging within a family, the interconnected ecologies of the Los Angeles River, and the use of “standardized patients” (or “SPs”) – which are professional actors who portray patients in a simulated clinical environment as part of medical students’ training.
Tribe’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane; the Power Plant, Toronto; Modern Art, Oxford; and Camden Arts Centre, London. Her work has also been included in key group exhibitions at MoMA, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
She was a fellow at the American Academy in Berlin and has received a Herb Alpert Award, a Creative Capital Grant, and a USA Artists Award. Tribe has taught at Art Center, CalArts, Harvard, and Stanford.
