Chris Finley

Chris Finley is a Professor at the School of Art, San Francisco State University, located in the Fine Arts Building, Room 254. His work explores sculptures, installations, and paintings that engage viewers through ritualistic interactions with everyday objects, critiquing mediated experiences. Influenced by Futurist aesthetics, his practice juxtaposes glorification of technology with societal critique.

• Exhibitions: Work featured in major institutions including SFMOMA, MASS MOCA, Van Abbe Museum (Netherlands), and MOCA LA.
• Collections: Permanent holdings at MoMA (NY), LACMA, SFMOMA, and MOCA LA.
• Media Coverage: Reviewed in Artforum, Art in America, The New York Times, and others.

Finley’s research interrogates the intersection of art, technology, and human behavior through material and conceptual juxtapositions.
