B. Quinn

About

Unapologetically feminist, using everyday materials, text, and found media, Quinn’s projects typically feature traces of gesture and obsessive repetition. Although works may seem at first glance unrelated—walls smeared with margarine to 18,928 handmade clay cookies to experimental video—each project is a continuation of the last and informs future experimentation. Embracing the idiosyncratic, drawing, research, and material exploration remain mainstays in her studio. Quinn received her BA from Chatham College for Women in Pittsburgh, Pa, and later completed her MFA in Painting and Drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has participated in exhibitions and projects internationally, notably presenting work with Critical Art Ensemble at documenta 13. More recently, Quinn contributed work to the group exhibition Storied References at Northern Illinois University Art Museum in Dekalb, Illinois. She is currently a Fulbright Independent Scholar and artist-in-residence at MQ21 in Vienna, AT, and will present a solo exhibition at AIR Gallery in New York in the fall of 2021.
