Brianna Leatherbury

Brianna leathersbury seeks to make direct connections with the people and places of nonart industries, most recently real estate and finance (and now genetics), in order to extend the reach of the artwork into everyday life. Her work offers moments that interrupt these structural divisions, that afford us brief encounters with the other. She asks what presumptions do we bring to these encounters, and may these encounters dispel them, even momentarily? Model Organisms continues her exploration into the social implications of property, using the human body, its fragments and traces, as a material lens.
