Artist Chris Sollars work subverts public space through interventions and performance. The results are documented using photographs, sculpture, and video that are integrated into mixed-media installations. Since starting a band in 2016, instrument construction, music, and lyrics have become an integral way to turn his discontent for man made environmental and social catastrophes into soundtracks for art. Sollars is an Associate Professor in Sculpture, Mills College, Oakland, CA. Awards include 2021 MacDowell Fellowship, 2013 Guggenheim Fellowship, 2013 San Francisco Arts Commission: Individual Artist Commission Grant, 2012 Center for Cultural Innovation Investing in Artists Grant, 2007 Eureka Fellowship Award, 2007 San Francisco Bay Area Artadia Grant, 2009 Headlands Center for the Arts residency, & 2015 Recology Artist in Residence. Sollars in 2008 completed C RED BLUE J which screened at SFMOMA on Election Day and was included in CREATIVE TIME’s Democracy in America show at the NY Park Armory.
