Felipe Steinberg is an interdisciplinary artist whose work considers constructed meanings of the local and the global through processes of de-contextualization and re-contextualization. He enlists various types of media and systems of circulation to explore the thickness between social spaces and interpersonal encounters. Steinberg attended the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York (2019), The Core Program, Museum of Fine Arts Houston (2016-2018), and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2014). He was an artist-in-residence at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha (2019), and RAW Material Company, Dakar (2019). His work has been presented in venues such as Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Museu Oscar Niemeyer, Curitiba, Brazil; Museu de Arte Moderna Aloísio Magalhães, Recife, Brazil; Socrates Sculpture Park, New York; Anthology Film Archives, New York; Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center, Ramallah; Visual Arts Center-University of Texas, Austin; 1After320, New Delhi; and SESC, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. He has been awarded the Idea Fund Prize - The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts (2017), and support from the Houston Arts Alliance Artists Individuals Grant Program (2018), among others. Steinberg is the co-founder of ACCA, Art and Culture in Contexts of Authoritarianisms, a working group studying, discussing, and articulating collective and individual responses to contexts of authoritarianism with a special focus on Brazil.
