Spanning installation, video, sculpture and collage, Wielebinski’s practice explores the intersections between political history, power relations and gendered eroticism. Collage – both as medium and methodology – lies at the core of his practice, allowing him to fragment, reassemble, and subvert dominant iconographies and systems of beliefs rooted in American history, mythology and popular culture.
Gray Wielebinski was born in 1991 in Dallas, TX, and currently lives and works in London, UK. He received a BA from Pomona College, Claremont CA, in 2014, before completing an MFA at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, UK in 2018.
