Rebeca Bollinger is an artist whose practice encompasses sculpture, drawing, photography, writing, sound, installation, sculptural projections of light and video, cast instruments, improvisational music, binders, and books. Her recent work is part of the continuous project Catalog of Stains, an exploration of relational spaces between dualities such as material/immaterial, ordered/jumbled, psychic/psychological, and presence/absence. The Catalog is the container, and Stains are the artworks and ideas within it: memories, objects, incidents, imprints. She is based in Tuscon, AZ, and San Francisco, CA.
Rebeca Bollinger’s work has been exhibited at public venues including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; Ballroom Marfa, TX; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, WA; Creative Time, Brooklyn, NY; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, CA; University of California Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley, CA; Mills College Art Museum, Oakland, CA; Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Norway; and Museum Fridericianum, Kassel, Germany.
