Katelyn Halpern
Katelyn Halpern is a multidisciplinary artist from Austin, Texas living in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Trained as a dancer and writer and self-taught in other media, she works in installations, performance, multimedia visual art, and the written word on subjects of peace/not peace, intimate relationship, space dust, possibility-freedom-futures, and the experience of moving through the world in a feminine body. Her works, often formulated as worlds, versions, and networks, function as propositions about how things might, or ought, to be.
After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Houston with a B.A. in English Literature and a minor in Dance, she's gone on to work as a classroom teacher, grant writer, tax advisor, and founding artistic director of SMUSH Gallery. She's hailed as a “compelling conceptual artist,” “mischief maker,” and “born searcher,” (Jersey City Times), and rounds herself out as a scrappy home economist, to-do list enthusiast, and student of motherhood under the tutelage of her luminous child, Oa.
