Ava
Fedorov

Ava Fedorov is a transdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator who is originally from a remote region of Upstate New York. Using art as an intersectional social practice of bearing witness, creating a record, and standing vigil, she pulls from all realms of her creative knowledge to portray disappearing places and the implicit nexus that connects internal and external landscapes. She creates large, abstract paintings; multimedia installations; experimental books; and global performance pieces.

Ava’s work has been exhibited, collected, and published internationally and her short fiction has been a finalist for the Pushcart Prize and a PEN America award. Ava holds an MFA from the University of Hawaii and is an assistant professor of studio foundation at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. Her recent solo exhibitions include, Let Me Hold You As You Disappear, at the Laconia Gallery in Boston and Sandbags/Body Bags, at Performance Arcade in Wellington, New Zealand.
