Queering the Landscape

Angela Dufresne is a Brooklyn-based painter from Connecticut, raised in Olathe, Kansas. Her multidisciplinary work—spanning painting, printmaking, and performance—explores non-hierarchical, provocative narratives of female experience in America. A founder of The Fragile Institute and ADVICE VOTE, she fosters civic engagement and exhibitions like Density Betrays Us (The Hole, NY). Her solo shows include the Kemper Museum, Dorsky Museum, and UCLA Hammer Museum, with gallery exhibitions at Yossi Milo and M & B. She’s featured in group shows at MoMA Warsaw, RISD Museum, and Leslie-Lohman Museum. A 2016 Guggenheim Fellow, she’s received residencies at Yaddo and McDowell and is an Associate Professor at RISD. Her work is held in collections at the Nerman Museum, Hood Museum, and Kemper Museum, among others.

Her essays and criticism have appeared in 4 Columns, Frieze, Granta, The White Review, BOMB, Harper’s, The Believer, and McSweeney’s as well as Best American Essays.
