ABOUT
Christina Sadovnikov is an artist/forager/community organizer living on the land of the Council of Three Fires (Chicago, IL). Her art practice integrates material agency, earth systems science, low-technology, craft practices, and collective memory. These interests coalesce into site-specific installations, exhibitions held outside of institutions, and workshops that center processing lived experiences. The core of her work is rooted in living with the aliveness, mutability, and the deep histories of objects, and creating experiences where local communities can interact with art the same way a child might stumble upon a frog in their backyard.
Christina graduated with a BFA in Craft and Material Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has been a resident at Mass MoCA for the Assets for Artists Residency Program and at Gullkistan Center for Creativity in Iceland. She recieved the Merit Scholarship from Ox-bow School of Art and was recently published on Comfort Station’s 2024 Artists to Watch list. Her work has been shown in various places such as Flux Factory (NY), The Plan (IL), Bird Show (IL), the James River Park System (VA), Anderson Gallery (VA), and Fried Fruit Gallery (NC).
Currently, Christina is teaching craft classes to teens, curating pop-up exhibitions, creating sonic sculptures for musicians, and fermenting things in the studio. Feel free to reach out if you have any good book recommendations or wish to collaborate.
