Panelist – 10:30 am, Thursday, April 7th -Alt Development : Feral & Virtual Spaces to Fuel Creativity

Sarah Wagner is a sculptor and installation artist whose work renders the frailties and strengths wrought by the dynamism of biological development within an increasingly unnatural world. Her investigations and renderings of the ‘endocrine disruption theory’, radiation and her love of ecology has inspired her to explore exhibition venues as unnatural environments within which to create models for parallel worlds. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally at Projekt 0047 (Berlin), Homie (Berlin), Cress Gallery (Chattanooga), de Saisset Museum (Santa Clara), Museum of Craft and Folk Art , YBCA , Southern Exposure, New Langton Arts (San Francisco), 21 Grand (Oakland), and Revolution Gallery (Detroit).  Wagner’s work has been reviewed in Art Week and Art Papers and  is in the Microsoft Collection. In 2009 She received  a Pollock/Krasner Grant.  She is currently an instructor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is represented by the Patricia Sweetow Gallery in San Francisco.  BFA, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga; Resident, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture; MFA, California College of the Arts.
