Caledonia Curry, who works under the moniker Swoon, unites art and activism throughout her expansive multimedia practice. Swoon is perhaps best known for her monumental structures that explore how communities can heal through crisis, and for her large-scale, cut-out portraits of everyday city dwellers, which she often wheatpastes on the sides of buildings. She also works across printmaking, installation, animation, and other media. Swoon studied at Pratt Institute and has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. Her work belongs in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, the São Paulo Museum of Art, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.
