Stephanie Syjuco

Stephanie Syjuco works in photography, sculpture, and installation, moving from handmade and craft-inspired mediums to digital editing and archive excavations. Using critical wit and collaborative co-creation, her projects leverage open-source systems, shareware logic, and flows of capital in order to investigate economics and empire. Her work has been exhibited widely at venues including MoMA/P.S.1, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, ZKM Center for Art and Technology, the California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art, the 12th Havana Bienal, and the 2015 Asian Art Biennial (Taiwan). A longtime educator, she is an Associate Professor in Sculpture at the University of California, Berkeley. She lives in Oakland, California, and is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.
