Caitlin Berrigan works as a visual artist, filmmaker, and writer to explore poetics and queer science fiction as world-making practices through moving images, sculptural instruments, and expanded new media. Her early works make sensible the relations across viruses, disability, capitalism and contagion. Her recent artistic research into geological animacies in the climate crisis follows how minerals, toxins, and elemental media are transformed and mobilized by data capitalism and inhuman intimacies.

Berrigan’s solo exhibitions at JOAN (Los Angeles) and Art in General (New York) were critically acclaimed in Artforum, and her work has shown internationally at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Berlinale Forum Expanded Exhibition, Haus der Kunst Munich, Mudam Luxembourg, Henry Art Gallery Seattle, Ashkal Alwan Beirut, Harvard Carpenter Center, European Media Arts Festival, and Poetry Project New York among others. She has produced three genre-defying books published by Distanz, Broken Dimanche Press, and Autograph, and her writings are published by e-flux, Georgia, MARCH, Duke University Press. She has been awarded by Creative Capital, Skowhegan, Humboldt Foundation, Graham Foundation, and Akademie Schloss Solitude.

Currently a PI Senior Postdoctoral Fellow at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Berrigan has held full-time and visiting teaching positions at NYU Tisch, Caltech, Bard College Berlin and Harvard. She earned a PhD-in-Practice at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, a master’s in science from MIT’s program for Art, Culture and Technology and a B.A. from Hampshire College.
