Zoe Crosher (born July, 1975)[1] is an American artist and enthusiast[2] whose work has been exhibited widely at institutions such as the Aspen Art Museum, LACMA, MoMA, and the California Museum of Photography.[citation needed] Crosher lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

Biography

Crosher was born in Santa Rosa, CA.[3] The daughter of a diplomat and airline stewardess, Crosher grew up mostly as an expatriate.[4][5] She attended the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts).[1]

Named a “prominent Los Angeles artist” by the New York Times, Crosher’s work is included in various international, private and museum collections including The Los Angeles County Museum of Art,[6] The Museum of Modern Art,[7] The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,[7] and The Palm Springs Museum.[7] She is the founder and president of the Los Angeles branch of The Fainting Club[8] and a fellow at the Royal Society of the Arts in London.[9] She has taught at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA.[7]

Early career

Crosher edited NTNTNT (2004),[10] a collaborative project that investigated the short-lived history of net.art, and later served as Associate Editor of Afterall Magazine.[citation needed] In 2006, she was the recipient of the Penny McCall Foundation Publishing Award (New York, NY) and the Pillowfight Grant (Seattle, WA).[11] She is also a 2007 recipient of the Materials & Applications residency in Los Angeles, CA.[citation needed]

Mid-career to present

In 2011 Crosher received the Los Angeles County Museum of Art AHAN Award (Art Here and Now)[12] The same year, Aperture published the first of a series of a limited edition, four volume set of books that offers Crosher's re-interpretation of Michelle duBois' (a frequent protagonist in Crosher's work) archive of self-portraits titled "The Reconsidered Archive of Michelle duBois."[13][14] In 2012, Crosher's work was included in MoMA's 2012 New Photography exhibition.[1]

In collaboration with Los Angeles Nomadic Division, Crosher initiated and co-curated The Manifest Destiny Billboard Project,[15] a public art exhibition taking place on billboards along the I-10 freeway. Crosher's work closed the show, appearing in 2015 on the westernmost segment of the project.[15] Together with LAND, she is a 2013 co-recipient of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation “Artistic Innovation and Collaboration Award” and the 2015 Smithsonian Ingenuity of the Year Award with Shamim M. Momim.[16]

Numerous books have been published on her work, including one recently released in February 2016 (and sold out) by Hesse Press.[17]

In 2015, Crosher was the recipient of Smithsonian Magazine's American Ingenuity Award for Visual Arts.[18]

In 2018, Crosher's ongoing series "LA Like: Prospecting Palm Fronds" was exhibited at the Aspen Art Museum.[19]
