Kate Casanova (born in 1982 in Minnesota) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work investigates the post -human through sculpture and video, exploring hybrid forms between the human, animal, and artificial. She earned her BFA (2008) from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and her MFA (2013) from the University of Minnesota. She has exhibited in prestigious venues such as the Barbican (London), Le Poisson Rouge (New York), Weisman Art Museum (Minneapolis), Black Cube Nomadic Museum (Denver), and the traveling exhibition Station to Station. Her work includes the series Underbelly (2018) and Metabodies (primarily since 2016), biomorphic assemblages in materials such as plaster, resin, plastic, and textiles that evoke bodies in transformation.
In 2022, she presented Gut Feeling, her first solo exhibition at Yi Gallery (Brooklyn), featuring hyper-tactile sculptures that redefine the inside and outside of the body. She is an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the University of Denver and is represented by Yi Gallery (Brooklyn) an d Kolman & Pryor Gallery (Minneapolis).
Her poetics weave together material, body, and space, merging humanity and nature to redefine bodily and sensory perception.
