Shaun Kardinal

A conceptual artist and curator creating form from repeating parts—one from many, many from one. His cross-disciplinary art practice manifests as altered objects, modular structures, collaborative exhibition platforms, and interactive physical-digital installations.

His current ongoing project SKAM, a meta-eponymous museum celebrating the personal collection, builds systems of support for other artists through purchases, awards and residencies.

He has received grants from 4Culture and Artist Trust, has served as a member of SOIL artist-run gallery, was an organizational member of Crawl Space Gallery, and co-founded Some Space Gallery. His collaborative exhibition productions Turn and Forward engaged over 70 artists in time-based cycles of process and reinvention.

His personal work has exhibited from Seattle to New York to London and in between. He is currently represented by J. Rinehart Gallery in Seattle.
