Michelle Handelman

Michelle Handelman uses video, text and performance to make hypnotic moving image installations that push against the boundaries of gender, race and sexuality. Her work navigates philosophical questions of existence about the things we collectively fear and deny—sex, death, chaos. She is a recipient of a Creative Capital Grant, a Guggenheim Fellowship in Film/Video, a NYSCA/NYFA Fellowship in Digital/Electronic Art, and an Art Matters Award. She has presented work at MoMA, PARTICIPANT, INC, Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, and PERFORMA, in New York; ICA in London; Broad Art Museum, OUTFEST, in Los Angeles; and many film festivals worldwide.
