ARTSLab is thrilled to welcome Erika Blumenfeld to the lab as a special guest speaker on Thursday April 16 at 5pm.
Erika Blumenfeld (b. 1971, USA) is an artist, researcher, and writer whose transdisciplinary practice explores our material and poetic kinship with the natural world and cosmos. Working as an “ecological archivist,” she collaborates with scientists and institutions—including NASA, Scripps, McDonald Observatory, and SANAP—to create works across digital media, photography, installation, and printmaking. Signature projects include Light Recordings, Tracing Luminaries, The Polar Project, Sky Scrolls, Astromaterials 3D, Encyclopedia of Trajectories, and her bioluminescence and wildfire series. An Emerson Collective, Guggenheim, and Smithsonian Fellow, she has exhibited widely and been featured in outlets such as National Geographic and The New York Times. Blumenfeld holds a BFA from Parsons and an MSc (Distinction) from UCL, has been an artist-in-residence at NASA Johnson Space Center since 2016, lives in Houston, and is represented by Inman Gallery.
This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Doors open at 4:30 PM — seating is first come, first served, so come early to grab a good spot.
