Heather Dewey-Hagborg
Heather Dewey-Hagborg is a transdisciplinary artist and educator who is interested in art as research and critical practice. She gained international recognition for the biopolitical art project ›Stranger Visions‹ (2012-14), which comprised a series of portrait sculptures that were created from analyses of the DNA from discarded items such as hair, cigarettes and chewing gum. Her works have been shown internationally, including at the World Economic Forum (Davos), the transmediale (Berlin), the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (Shenzhen), the New Museum (New York) and the MoMA PS1 (New York), and have been incorporated into the collections of the Centre Pompidou (Paris) and the New York Historical Society.
