Meredith Tromble
Artist and writer Meredith Tromble makes drawings, installations, and performances exploring different ways of knowing and the passage between “virtual” and “physical” worlds. Her curiosity about imagination and knowledge has sparked several projects with scientists, including the long-running Vortex series of interactive artworks, drawings, and performances with geobiologist Dawn Sumner. She also collaborates with the Los Angeles-based company Donna Sternberg & Dancers. Tromble’s work has been widely presented at venues ranging from the Mills Museum, Oakland and the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, Davis to the Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C., BioBAT Art Space, Brooklyn and Pratt Institute Manhattan Gallery. Her Dream Vortex was chosen as an Exemplar Project of interdisciplinary research by the Association for Arts in Research Universities and her blog Art and Shadows, on contemporary art illuminated by science,received Warhol Foundation Art Writers Grant. She is Professor, Interdisciplinary Studies/Art & Technology at San Francisco Art Institute
