For the Record // Crystal Z Campbell

ABOUT THE ARTIST // Crystal Z Campbell is a multidisciplinary artist and writer of African-American, Filipino, & Chinese descents. Campbell's practice is an excavation of public secrets, shared as performance, installation, sound, paintings, and film/video. Recent works include extractions of unsettled historical narratives including connotations of value around Henrietta Lacks' immortal cell line; a 35mm movie film salvaged from a now demolished black civil rights theater in Brooklyn as a relic of gentrification; and a current long-term project around the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Politics of witnessing and perception are explored through combinations of archival research, rumor, found footage, constructed imagery, and site history.Campbell exhibits internationally: The Drawing Center (US), Nest (Netherlands), ICA-Philadelphia (US), Artissima (IT), Studio Museum of Harlem (US), Project Row Houses (US), and SculptureCenter (US), amongst others. Selected honors include: Pollock-Kr
