INCITE Journal of Experimental Media #7/8: Sports
“A Selective Guide to Sports in Experimental Media.” By Astria Suparak and Brett Kashmere.
The “Selective Guide” section of INCITE Journal of Experimental Media‘s newest issue, Sports, is a practical resource for educators, scholars, curators, historians, and librarians, which aims to give a cross-sectional overview of the various ways that sports have been treated in artists’ film and video, experimental documentary, and media-based installation throughout history. The works are arranged alphabetically by sport and by year, and include title, maker, year, medium, duration, and a short description.
Lyra Angelica and Drives are both included in the “Selective Guide.”
INCITE Journal: Sports is a 344-page, full color double-issue (#7/8). The journal is collected by museums, film organizations, and libraries across North America, including the Museum of Modern Art Library, Yale University, University of Chicago, Anthology Film Archives, CalArts, and the Library of Congress.
New blog for Pyeongchang Olympics! “An Artist Writes About Figure Skating”
Many of you know me as an artist who often uses sports as metaphor and the athlete as subject in my work. I sometimes write about sports, too, especially figure skating, in casual emails with friends. I’ve decided to take advantage of the Pyeongchang Olympics to focus my writing and share my thoughts in a more focused way. If the topic piques your interest, feel free to check it out!

Visiting Critic at Wayne State University
Just back from a wonderful visit to Wayne State University. I gave a lecture on my research and practice, toured Detroit, met many wonderful students and faculty in the Art Department, and attended grad critiques. I was thrilled with the variety of work I saw and the support and respect the students had for one another.
The Guardian Building from my tour of Detroit! Thanks Millee Tibbs!
