Process Still: filming Artifi in the Voltaire Room at Sans Souci Palace, Caitlin Berrigan & Samuel Hertz

Caitlin Berrigan works as a visual artist and writer to explore poetics and queer science fiction as world-making practices through instruments and moving image. Her work enfolds the complexity of interrelations across humans and more-than-humans within spatial ecologies, technologies, and systems of capitalism. She has had recent solo exhibitions at JOAN Los Angeles (2023) and Art in General (2019), and has presented her work at the Whitney Museum, Berlinale Forum Expanded, Henry Art Gallery, Harvard Carpenter Center, Poetry Project, Anthology Film Archives, La Casa Encendida, Ashkal Alwan, Goldsmith’s among other international venues. Her experimental writings are published by e-flux, Georgia, MARCH, Duke University Press and Broken Dimanche Press. She has received fellowships and residencies from Creative Capital, the Humboldt Foundation, Skowhegan, Graham Foundation, and Akademie Schloss Solitude. Currently a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Berrigan has held full-time and visiting faculty positions at NYU Tisch, Caltech, Bard College Berlin, Harvard, and UMass Boston.
