Sarah Bricke is a transdisciplinary artist, writer, and researcher. Her practice merges research, scholarship, materials, mediums, and modes of production. She is interested in radical processes of rethinking, re-embodying, and re-imagining. Working through installation, photographic processes, performative lecture, critical theory, and poetry, Bricke engages in the production of objects, texts, and images as a mechanism to facilitate dialogues around them: she is involved with making as a continual process in which things don’t become fully defined and can’t be considered completely understood or fully realized. Ongoing projects concern art that arises in the ruins of the built environment, artists that create long-term and/or large-scale work without receiving recognition or institutional support, and those who make work in the face of oppression, disempowerment, or victimization.
Bricke is based in Southern California. She is currently an MFA candidate in the Low Residency program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Bricke was a participant in the 2022 HereIn Writers Workshop.
