Colette Copeland

Colette Copeland is an interdisciplinary visual artist based in Granbury, Texas. Inspired by Dada and Fluxus, her artistic practice combines personal narratives, history, and contemporary culture using a variety of media including video, photography, sound, performance, printmaking and sculptural installation. Her performance videos utilize experimental narrative strategies to map the complexities of human and non-human relationships.

Over the past 34 years, Copeland's work has been featured in 40 solo exhibitions and 170 group exhibitions and festivals across 35 countries. She holds a BFA from Pratt Institute and an MFA from Syracuse University and has taught at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Texas.

In 2023–2024, she received a Fulbright Scholar Research Award to document contemporary female artists in India working with socially engaged practices, and to develop an experimental sound project that amplifies the voices of female, non-binary, and queer communities. She writes for Glasstire and Arteidolia online publications.
