DANIELLE RONEY
Danielle Roney’s hybrid practice explores how art and technology can democratize spatial narratives and infrastructures. Working with mediated sculpture, fluid architectures, and time-based media she interweaves isolation and connectedness, redefining spatial relationships to create new satellites of meaning while collapsing physical barriers.
Roney’s overlapping material and conceptual trajectories come together in a new hybrid form in SUPERPOSITIONS, a NEXT decade initiative leveraging autonomous networked virtual infrastructures to generate meaning beyond the spectacle of technological innovation and renew opportunities for human connection in the public realm. Individual, mediated sculptures – STRATA – establish performative thresholds that expand intersubjectivity through Translation and Transmission; constructing collaborative modes of democratized cultural production.
Roney exhibited in the Beijing off-biennale ‘Convergence’ with curators Feng Boyi and CS Kiang, and has produced works in Johannesburg, Venice (IT), São Paulo, and Istanbul. US exhibitions include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Georgia; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; Atlanta Contemporary Art Center; Zuckerman Museum of Art; and SouthxEast Biennale. In 2015, Opposing Views was highlighted in the StatsPL educational program, a collaborative effort between cognitive and neuroscience experts, technologists, and top educators made possible by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
She has received numerous grants including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Georgia and Sony Electronics. Roney participated in ‘knowledges’ (2019), the Integrated Arts Research Initiative at the Spencer Museum of Art funded by the Mellon Foundation, Warhol Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts. Her work has been reviewed in Art in America, ArtPapers, and featured in Noplaceness: Art in a Post-Urban Landscape and Dislocations, by Leonardo Electronic Almanac.
She currently lives and works in Greenpoint Brooklyn, NY.
