Amber Ginsburg received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois, and is a lecturer in the Division of Visual Arts at the University of Chicago. She creates site-generated projects and social sculpture that insert historical scenarios into present-day situations. Her background in craft orients her projects towards the continuities and ruptures in material, social, and utopic histories. Always interested in history, more recently, she has been drawn to imagined futures, specifically a future that includes human survival. Looking to past feminist strategies, including collective action and equity politics, she works in large-scale sculptural forms that allow audiences a role in thinking through the making or completion of the work. She follows specific material lineages, sometimes a tree species, or porcelain, to map our varied and complex relationships. In doing so, she works in concert with objects as collaborators, agent-provocateurs, and narrative instigators. The boundary between human and nonhuman agency is pressing thinner. Her research-based multimedia installations have been shown internationally including: the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Soap Factory, Minneapolis; the Society for Contemporary Craft, Pittsburgh; World Ceramic Biennale, Icheon, Korea; KunstTREFFpunkt, Darmstadt, Germany; Artsonje, Seoul, Korea; Raid Projects, Los Angeles, California, and the Bristol Biennial, Bristol, UK.
