Lindsey White (born 1980 Tulsa, Oklahoma) is a visual artist working across many disciplines including photography, video, sculpture, and book making. Her work has been described as "reveling in lighthearted gags and simple gestures to create an experience that is all the more satisfying for the puzzles it contains." [1]

Early Life and Education

Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. White received her BFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, OR and her MFA from the California College of Art in San Francisco, CA. [2]

Work

Her solo exhibitions include In That Case: Havruta in Contemporary Art at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, CA.[3] "Through video, photography, and sculpture, White models a type of site gag index, working with the language of magic and comedy to challenge ordinary perceptions by presenting the unexpected and impossible. Like a good joke, her work pits cartoonish occurrence against the mundane physicality of everyday life." [4][5] White's work is fictionalizing an awkward stage moment, the piece forms a joke in its own right.[6]

Additionally, she is a part of a collaborative project, Will Brown[7] ( with David Kasprzak and Jordan Stein) who reimagines the roles of artist and curator through an inventive upending of traditional exhibition formats. The collective often mines unexpected or forgotten histories that exist within artistic and cultural spheres. [8] "This trio of artist-curators is making exhibitions and events out of a San Francisco storefront that are smart, weird and historical, with a great sense of humor. Their latest installation — inspired by a true story involving the fate of painter Kazimir Malevich’s burial site in Moscow — transformed the space into a luxury Russian condominium." [9] Will Brown has realized projects with Wattis Institute[10], Kadist Foundation[11], Ulrich Museum of Art[12] , di Rosa[13], Headlands Center of the Arts[14], and recently had a solo MATRIX exhibition at the Berkeley Museum of Art/Pacific Film Archive.[15] Will Brown was awarded a Creative Fund Grant in collaboration with the San Francisco Art Institute in 2015. [16]
