Katherine Hubbard is an Associate Professor of Art and Director of the MFA Program at Carnegie Mellon University School of Art. Her practice integrates photography, writing, and performance to explore the intersection of social politics, history, and narrative through a lens of bodily engagement. Hubbard's work emphasizes analog photography as a medium that mimics and interrogates the body's relationship to visual processes, often staging performances where participants' physical positioning becomes integral to the artwork's temporal experience. Education: MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College (2010). Research focuses on the politics of looking, the malleability of vision, and bridging the imaginary with the familiar through interdisciplinary projects. Notable collaborations include the Poetry Parade series (2012–ongoing), a migratory feminist reading action performed in institutions like the Whitney Museum, and cyclops & slashes (2015), a participatory performance addressing social dynamics through photography and text. Awards: 2020 Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography. Hubbard has exhibited widely, including solo shows at Higher Pictures (New York) and Company Gallery (NY), with works featured in Frieze Magazine . Her projects often involve site-specific installations, such as Four shoulders and thirty five percent everything else (2014), which interrogates landscape and perception in Utah's desert.
