Adjunct Associate Professor of Fine Arts Jessica Stoller was featured in artnet and Colossal in conjunction with her latest exhibition, Split, which is on view at P.P.O.W. in Tribeca through April 5. “In this show, I’m thinking about a few splits, for one, the way we have split reproductive capabilities and fetal life from the potentially pregnant person carrying the embryo,” she told artnet. “But also a split in terms of our relationship to the earth, and the intersection of the natural world being seen as something inert, exploitable, and extractable and the pathologizing of the female body.”
