Flavia D’Urso is a Sicilian American artist working in sculpture, video and mixed media to create bodily assemblages to animate potential ways of being and embrace the rich territory of failure, breakage, and degenerating processes of production as inherently queer and feminized strategies of survival. D’Urso received her MFA from California College of the Arts in San Francisco and her BA from Skidmore College in New York. She was the recipient of the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship Award in 2018. D’Urso’s work has been exhibited at the San Diego Art Institute, Bread & Salt Gallery, and The Front Gallery in San Diego; Minnesota Street Projects, Root Division and Embark Gallery in San Francisco; ConArtist Gallery in New York; Nova Gallery in Weimar, Germany; and most recently a solo exhibition at Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana, California.
