Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Christine Cassano is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is a continuous exploration of the idea that embodied information exists through an interconnected and unseen universe. Her art practice is informed by research of scientific, philosophical, and cosmological principles and is made accessible to audiences through objects, sculpture, sound, and installations.
She attended and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and Old Dominion University. She was the recipient of the 2018 Artist Research Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2016, she was awarded a Contemporary Forum Artist Grant and an exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum, supported in part by the Nathan Cummings Foundation Endowment. In 2015, she was awarded a residency at the University of West Georgia, which included an interactive community-based installation project that is now part of the college’s permanent collection. That year she was also a recipient of the Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art Grant, resulting in a published artist catalog of her work.
Her works are in various private and corporate collections throughout the United States and abroad including City of Phoenix, The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Arizona, Explora Science Center & Museum in New Mexico, Cousins Properties, Wexford Bioscience Technologies, Banner Health and Marriot International Inc.
