“How many steps to reach you”
With online performance-painting (Iran: Leila Fallah, Italy: Meaghan Sweeney)
Meaghan Sweeney
Meaghan Sweeney exhibits her work internationally, most recently in Body Archives 4 at Museo di Storia Naturale and Reactions to Divine Beauty at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, Italy. The artist employs a large scale of techniques and mediums within her work, showcasing a variety of styles and formats in which she chooses to present social, cultural and philosophical theories as they relate to modern life and the information era.
Photography, video, audio, and installation unite themselves with more classically known mediums as painting, etching, and drawing. Feeling an integral urge to participate in the contemplation and understanding of the current era through sociology and psychology, the thoughts behind these creations seek to question personal identity as well as matters of contemporary culture through themes of memory.
Sweeney trained in Studio Art at Hamline University, earning her BFA degree in 2012. Currently residing in Florence, Italy, the artist is finalizing her MFA degree through Studio Arts Colleges International
