About the artist:

Amber Ginsburg creates site-generated projects that insert historical
scenarios into present-day situations and engages present-day histories to
imagine alternative futures. Her background in craft orients her projects
towards the continuities and ruptures in material, social, and utopic
histories. While always interested in history, more recently Ginsburg is
drawn to imagined futures. Looking to feminist strategies, including
collective action and equity politics, she works with long-term and ongoing
collaborators to engage multiple communities, creating large-scale sculptural
forms that allow audiences a role in thinking through the work. Following
specific material lineages—be it a tree species, porcelain, or wool—she maps
our varied and porous relationships. Working in concert with objects, she is
interested in how materials can extend and reframe our thinking to include
the politics of complexity. Ginsburg teaches in the Department of Visual Arts
at the University of Chicago and shows extensively locally, nationally, and
internationally.
