\"\"Kristan Kennedy is a Portland-based artist, curator, and educator.\u00a0 She is the Artistic Director, Curator of Visual Art for the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA)<\/a>. For more than a decade, Kennedy has focused on commissioning new work by international emerging artists in the form of large-scale, site-specific installations and solo projects that exist at the borders of genres. Kennedy teaches in the Visual Studies MFA program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) Contemporary Art.<\/p>\n

Kennedy is represented by Fourteen30 Contemporary, Portland, Oregon. While the artist identifies as a painter, she also questions the history, process and medium that she is complicit in perpetuating.<\/p>\n

Curator and critic Stephanie Snyder says of Kennedy\u2019s paintings in Artforum, \u201ctheir intense dialectic of beauty and repulsion mirrors the artist\u2019s philosophical struggles\u2014we sense that both artist and artwork have gone through the wringer\u2014together\u2014to achieve a hard-won grace\u201d.<\/p>\n
