Statement
Meg Mitchell received a BFA in Sculpture from the University of South Florida in 2005, and an MFA in New Genres from the University of Maryland in 2008. Mitchell creates work in diverse media from painting, to performance, digital media and interactive installations. She uses humor to subvert modernist beliefs, and to play with the boundaries between the conceptual and the physical spaces her work occupies. Mitchell borrows from a diverse range of sources such as Greek drama, contemporary advertising, camp, cinema, art history, and media representations of technological progress.Her collaborative exhibition last year at the DC Art Center entitled "Ian and Jan: the Undiscovered Duo" was widely praised in the press including reviews in the Washington Post.
