- Brief Bio
A New York based interdisciplinary artist, Morrison's themes often involve interaction, group participation or a core of performers. Playful as well as aggressive, her ideas evolve from notions of space in the personal, corporal and mediated realm; in particular, how the body projects itself within varying contexts. She has used archetypes –as well as stereotypes– of gender as a springboard to present the physical and psychological world of conditioning. By examining, as well as expanding notions of 'self' and physicality, her process invites deviation and transformation from prescribed norms.
She has created videos, site-specific installations and performances as well as a documentary film (Potential Partners, 2006). Her work has been exhibited internationally in galleries, museums, and festivals including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Kunstlerhaus Hamburg, and CINESONIKA in Vancouver. She has been visiting faculty at Pratt Institute, and Rutgers University, and a Visiting Artist at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The University of Minnesota, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. Additionally she has been the recipient of grants and honors, including fellowships from the Illinois Arts Council, and the Council on the Arts and Humanities on Staten Island as well as residencies from the University of Wisconsin, and the University of Ohio's Wexner Center. Recent projects have involved utopian and military architecture, rural youth, and urban break dance artists.
An independent producer she has also generated educational videos for youth audiences.
