Week 6, Wednesday, February 9, Lauren Alyssa Bierly is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY with over ten years experience in contemporary art, design and fashion exhibition management. Her artwork is rooted in phenomenology and informed by ecology, language and architecture. As a synaesthete, Bierly is interested in the intersection of sensory languages—like color perception, sound recognition, and time sensing—and how these sensory vocabularies shape one’s subjective experience of identity and place. She’s exhibited in New York City, Oregon, Kolkata, India and Moscow, Russia. She was artist-in-residence at Playa Art + Science (2020); chaNorth Residency (2018); Starry Night (2017); Panoply Performance Lab (2016) and Trestle Art Space (2015). She was a member of collective Incredible Witness from 2015 – 2017, and a participant of the Universityof Sussex’s ongoing synaesthesia research since 2013. In 2021, Bierly joined Brooklyn Museum as Exhibition Project Manager following prior exhibition management roles with the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. She earned a Bachelor of Architecture and minor in Art History from Pennsylvania State University (2009) and Masters of Art in Modern Art, Connoisseurship, and History of the Art Market from Christie’s Education (2010).
