Discipline: Interdisciplinary Art
Region: Santa Monica, CA
MacDowell Fellowships: 1997

Bernadette Fox experiments with Art and Architecture and explores the relationship between space, boundaries, infinity and limits. She is inspired by the transformation of energy at its moment of release or change. Current research explores the structure and energy of space in a series of House Interventions. Intact spatial fragments are cut, released from, and cantilevered. They are documented with photography and video.

Fox has received numerous awards for her work, including a CEC Artslink Award, a Pollock-Krasner Award, Fellowships at Skowhegan, MacDowell fellowship, and at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. International shows of her spatial research include the PQ2011 Prague Quadrennial, the Dark Side Review at the Venice Biennale, and the MAK in Vienna. Fox earned her B.S.Arch at University of Virginia and her M.Arch from SCI-Arc.
