Kate Casanova
Kate Casanova challenges traditional figurative art by exploring the multi-faceted nature of the body in her sculptures.
Kate Casanova is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the "posthuman" through sculpture and video. Her work challenges perceived binaries such as human/nonhuman and organic/synthetic to create an expanded view of the human body.
Underbelly: A solo exhibition at Public Functionary, 2018 in Minneapolis. This work uses materials such as plaster, carpet padding, plastic, resin, silicone, fabric and LCD screens to create abstract forms that bulge beyond borders, slide over edges, and seep through cracks.
Casanova has exhibited nationally and internationally at venues such as the Barbican Centre (London), Le Poisson Rouge (New York), the Weisman Art Museum (Minneapolis), and the Black Cube Nomadic Museum (Denver). She received an MFA from the University of Minnesota in 2013 and a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design in 2008. She is an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the University of Denver.
