Andrew Bearnot (b. 1986, New York) is an artist and self described “materialist”: Informed by a background in glassblowing and materials science, he thinks with and through the substance of things. Bearnot’s work explores moments of queer phenomenology in the everyday. His sculptures, prints, drawings, and videos are invitations to calibrate oneself and to be calibrated by the world.
Andrew received an MFA from the University of Chicago and dual undergraduate degrees from Brown University (BS) and the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA). He was a Fulbright fellow in Sweden and has been an artist-in-residence at the Museum of Arts and Design (New York, NY), Hyde Park Arts Center (Chicago, IL), Spudnik Press (Chicago, IL), Marble House Project (Dorset, VT), and Creative Glass Center of America (Millville, NJ). Recent solo and two-person exhibitions include: MSU Broad Museum (East Lansing, MI), Currents 826 (Santa Fe, NM), The Arts Club of Chicago, The University Club of Chicago, Roots and Culture (Chicago, IL), and The Leather Archives and Museum (Chicago, IL). |
