Kara Springer
Visual Arts Residency

Kara Springer is particularly concerned with armature—the underlying structure that holds the flesh of a body in place. She works with photography, sculpture, and site-specific interventions to explore systems of structural support through engagement with architecture, urban infrastructure, and systems of institutional and political power. Springer holds degrees from the University of Toronto, ENSCI les Ateliers in Paris, and the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Artists Space in New York, the Institute of Contemporary Art and Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, the National Gallery of the Bahamas and the National Gallery of Jamaica. She currently holds a Chalmers Fellowship with the Ontario Arts Council and is an alum of the Independent Study Program at the Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston Core Program.
