Selena is a recent recipient of the Pollock-Krasner award, a Jerome Foundation grant, and two MacDowell Fellowships. A native of Maine, she lives and works in New York City where she is co-founder and co-director, with Pascal Glissmann, of the Observational Practices Lab at Parsons, the New School, where she is currently assistant professor of contemporary art practice.
