Chloë Bass

Chloë Bass is a multiform conceptual artist working in performance, situation, conversation, publication, and installation. Her work uses daily life as a site of deep research to address scales of intimacy: where patterns hold and break as group sizes expand. Chloë's work has been supported by the VIA Art Fund, the Map Fund, the Mellon Foundation, the Kupferberg Arts Incubator, Silver Art Project, NYU's Future Imagination Fund, the Lucas Art Fellowship, Art Matters, Denniston Hill, and others. Her projects have appeared nationally and internationally, including recent exhibits and projects with Creative Time, the Buffalo AKG, the Skirball Cultural Center, California African-American Museum / Art + Practice, Henry Art Gallery, The Pulitzer Arts Foundation, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Mass MoCA, Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven, BAK basis voor actuele kunst, the Knockdown Center, the Kitchen, the Brooklyn Museum, and elsewhere. She is the co-director Social Practice CUNY with Gregory Sholette, with whom she published the book Art As Social Action. She is represented by Alexander Gray Associates.

Bass's research-based approach to artmaking utilizes various complementary forms, including performance, installation, video, photography, sculpture, text, and audio. Her practice has been structured around the exploration of intimacy, using daily life as a site of deep research to address scales of intimacy: where patterns hold and break as group sizes expand.
