GeoVanna Gonzalez is a Miami/Berlin-based artist and curator. Her work desires to connect private and public space through interventionist, participatory art with an emphasis on collaboration and collectivity. She builds installations that are designed for non-directive play in order to express the potential of our embodied cognition. She references architecture and design by reflecting on how the voids in the spaces we inhabit affect our everyday. Through her work she addresses the shifting notions of gender and identity, intimacy and proximity, and forms of communication and miscommunication in today’s technological and consumer culture. Her most recent work performs these possibilities by collaborating with movement and sound based artists. These improvisations are political acts, analyzing and critiquing what it means to share public space as womxn, queer folks and people of color.

GeoVanna was born and raised in Los Angeles California where she received her BFA at Otis College of Art and Design. Her recent solo exhibitions include: When we open every window (2019), Gr_und, Berlin; Play, Lay, Aye (2019) The Bass Museum, Miami; PLAY, LAY, AYE: ACT III, (2019) Commuter Biennial, Miami. She has participated in group exhibitions at The Corcoran School of the Arts and Design (2019) Washington, DC; Dimensions Variable (2019) Miami; University of Maryland Art Gallery (2019) Maryland; PS120 (2018) Berlin; NGBK (2018) Berlin; 5 Car Garage (2018) Los Angeles. Recent commissions and awards include Exotic Naps, a video commissioned by The Institute of Contemporary Miami (2020); A WaveMaker grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation and Locust Projects (2020); The Ellies Visual Arts award by Oolite Arts for Supplement Projects (2018). She is founder and curator of Supplement Projects, an alternative art space & community meeting point based in Miami; Co-founder of performative reading club Read What You Want!; and a member of queer/feminist arts collective COVEN Berlin, working on exhibitions and events that focus on body politics, gender, labor, sexuality, and art.
