Katie Kehoe
Assistant Professor
Department of Art
Katie creates speculative survival architecture, objects, and wearables, to use in site-specific performances and installations, which she documents with still photography. Her work has been presented across the US and Canada, highlights include: The Hirshhorn Museum (DC), The Contemporary Museum (MD), Center for Maine Contemporary Art (ME), Arlington Arts Center’s Inaugural Regional Biennial, Assembly (VA), 7th Louisiana Biennial, a national juried exhibition, Louisiana Tech University (LO) and Meridian Center for Cultural Diplomacy’s Mother Earth Exhibition (DC).
Katie values cross-disciplinary collaboration and reflects on it as an enriching aspect of her work that enables her to ground speculative visions in scientific knowledge and lived experience. Recently she has been working with an interdisciplinary team of researchers at FSU to support increasing food security in rural Floridian communities impacted by hurricanes.
Katie previously taught at Virginia Commonwealth University, School of the Arts and George Mason University, School of Art, and received a Teacher of Distinction recognition from GMU in 2021. Katie holds an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD.
