STEPHANIE MEI HUANG
b. 1994, United StatesStephanie Mei Huang 黄丹妮 is an (inter)disciplinary artist. They use a diverse range of media and strategies including sound, film/video, installation, social interventions, sculpture, writing, and painting. They see slippery, chameleonic identity as a form of mimetic infiltration: a soft power reversal within hard architectures of power. Born and raised by a family of mechanical engineers, an auto-industry baby, Huang is particularly dedicated to analog forms of mechanics, refusing haptic loss, vision, and supervision, and stressing the intimacy, imperfection, tactility, and functionality of objects, vehicles, and machination.
They completed their MFA in Art at the California Institute of the Arts (2020), and they received their BA from Scripps College (2016). Select solo and group exhibitions include the Autry Museum of the American West, Sargent’s Daughters (Los Angeles), Jeffrey Deitch Gallery (Los Angeles), Artists Space (New York), Eli Klein Gallery (New York), Hauser and Wirth (Los Angeles), Contemporary Calgary (Calgary), the MAK Center for Art and Architecture (West Hollywood), 4th Ward Project Space (Chicago), Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery (Los Angeles), the New Wight Biennial at the University of California Los Angeles (Los Angeles), Cerritos Gallery (Norwalk), and the Arizona State University Art Museum (Tempe).
