Emmy Bright
Session 4 (1st week): Tuesday July 27 - Monday, August 2
Detroit-based artist Emmy Bright works in drawing, writing, print, and performance. Her projects investigate the problems of empathy and the problems of boundaries. Her work asks: How do we be there for each other? For ourselves? And where is this “there” we’re all talking about? She looks to psychology, art history, comedy, and lots of lists and diagrams to figure out all of this thinking and feeling. Bright has exhibited widely in the United States and internationally. Currently, she is an Artist-in-Residence at Cranbrook Academy of Art, where she heads the graduate program in Print Media. She holds a Master of Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, and a BA in Art History from the University of Chicago. She is represented by David Klein Gallery, Detroit.
