Tracey Snelling is an internationally exhibiting contemporary visual
artist, known best for her encompassing installations using small-scale
and large-scale sculptures, along with projections. Through the use of
many mediums, Snelling gives her impression of a place, its people and
their experience, and allows the viewer to extrapolate his or her own
meaning. Often, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays
out behind windows in the buildings, sometimes creating a sense of
mystery, other times stressing the mundane. Tracey was invited by the
Sundance Film Festival in 2010 to exhibit her Bordertown installation.
Snelling has shown work in museums such as The Museum of Arts and
Design, New York; Gemeentemuseum Helmond, the Netherlands; Shanghai
Zendai MOMA, Zhujiajiao, China; and Kunstmuseen Krefeld, Germany. She
has had solo exhibitions throughout the US as well as in China,
Belgium, the Netherlands, and London, and has been awarded residencies
in Beijing and Shanghai. Her large-scale, film-inspired installation
Woman on the Run has been exhibited at Selfridges, London; Smack
Mellon, Brooklyn; 21c Museum, Louisville; Frist, Nashville; at the
Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in North Carolina March
through May, 2012, and at Virginia MOCA in September, 2012.
