Kerry Tribe, the 2017 Herb Alpert Award winner for Film/Video is in residence at CalArts School of Film/Video from Jan. 29-Feb. 2, conducting a week-long workshop with students.
Considering each new project as an experiment, Los Angeles-based filmmaker and artist Kerry Tribe explores complex subjects through a wide range of highly restrained forms: time-based media (multi-channel videos, 16mm films, installations) as well as sculpture, performance and photography. Much of her work explores questions of human consciousness and communication. Subjects of her works have ranged from an urban river, aphasia, a mansion with a sordid history, and a butterfly’s wing to a man with a twenty second memory, the night sky and her senile grandfather.
Tribe’s work is currently the subject of solo exhibitions at SFMOMA in San Francisco. Other solo exhibitions venues include 1301 PE and 356 Mission in Los Angeles; the Institute for Modern Art in Brisbane, The Power Plant in Toronto; Modern Art, Oxford and Camden Arts Centre in London. She has received a Creative Capital Grant, a USA Artists Award, and was the 2017 recipient of the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts for Film/Video. Her films have been screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam; the New York Film Festival and the BFI London Film Festival among others, and her works are held in collections including The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum and The Hammer Museum. A fellow at the American Academy in Berlin in 2005-2006, Tribe received her MFA from UCLA in 2002 and was a Whitney Independent Study Program Fellow in 1997-98.
