Andrea Wolf

Andrea Wolf is a Chilean-born interdisciplinary artist living and working in New York. Her work consists of ongoing research into the relationship between personal memory and cultural practices of remembering. She creates multimedia installations and video sculptures that explore how technology, media and memory affect and transform each other, creating models of remembrance that are culturally shaped. Working with an archive of found footage, with anonymous stories – she leaves an open space to be filled by the meaning that each of us brings to the work through our personal experience. Andrea holds MFAs in Documentary Filmmaking from Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona and in Digital Arts from Universitat Pompeu Fabra and an MPA in Interactive Telecommunications from NYU. In 2013, she was a fellow at the Artist in the Marketplace Program at the Bronx Museum, culminating with the biennial exhibition “The Bronx Calling”. In 2015, she was an artist in residence at the IFP New York Media Center. She was a member of NEW INC, the New Museum’s incubator program from 2015 to 2017.
