NAOMI FISHER
CURRENT ARTIST RESIDENT
Throughout her 25-year interdisciplinary art career, Naomi Fisher (b. 1976, Miami) has explored ecology through a feminist lens, sourcing inspiration from her tropical surroundings and through growing up going on field expeditions and visiting the laboratory of her Botanist father. Her research tracks the continuous presence of natural forms in material culture, the power of surrealism and speculative fiction, and green-tech as material and communication strategy.
Fisher’s artwork has been exhibited internationally at the Museo de Arte Zapopan, Mexico; L.A.N.D., Los Angeles; Wolfsonian Museum, Miami Beach; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Kemper Museum, Kansas City; Kunsthalle Wein, Vienna; Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel; Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, Miami; and the Deste Foundation, Athens, and is included in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College; the Museum of Fine Art Boston, Oslo Kommunes Kunstsamling, the Rubell Family Museum, ICA Miami, PAMM, and more.
Fisher has completed Art in Public Places commissions for Oslo Kommunes Kunstsamling, Norway; the Henry, Seattle; and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens, Codina Partners, Laguna Gardens, and the Underline Park in Miami.
She served as chair of the Visual Arts panel for the National YoungArts Foundation, and currently directs BFI (Bas Fisher Invitational) the W.A.G.E. certified 501(c)3 nonprofit she co-founded in 2004.
