Anastasia Corrine

Born in The Bronx, they received a BFA in Visual & Critical Studies from SVA (NYC). Their work has been exhibited locally and internationally, including at Smack Mellon, Greenwich House Pottery, and Laden Für Nichts (Leipzig). Corrine has held residencies at Leipzig International Art Programme (DE), Wave Hill (NY), and the Institute for Electronic Arts (NY).
