Dakota Gearhart
Dakota Gearhart is a transmedia artist whose practice concerns the effects of modern science and technology with a particular focus on the radical deconstruction of contemporary power structures according to an ecofeminist worldview. She seeks to make the familiar strange—and sometimes the strange familiar—and through that inversion, articulate a more robust and less oppressive future. Her work has recently exhibited at Queens Museum, NY; The Bronx Museum of Art, NY; Wave Hill, NY; Plexus Projects, NY; Adjunct Positions, CA; Horse Hospital, London; Horse and Pony Gallery, Berlin; Lab’Attoir, Thessaloniki, Greece; and Taiyuan University, Taiyuan, China. She has been awarded a Franklin Furnace Fellowship and a National Endowments for the Arts US-Japan Creative Fellowship which will bring her work to Japan in 2023. She is based in New York City where she is an adjunct professor at The New School and New York University.
