ABOUT
ELLIE GA is a New York-born, Stockholm-based artist
whose immersive, wide-ranging investigations include the classification of stains on city sidewalks to the charting of
the quotidian in the frozen reaches of the Arctic Ocean.
In performances and video installations, Ga’s braided narratives intertwine extensive research with first-hand
experiences that often follow uncertain leads and take unexpected turns. She has exhibited and performed internationally at the New Museum, The Kitchen and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and at M-Museum, Leuven; Le Grand Café, Saint-Nazaire, among many others.
Ga is the author of Square Octagon Circle (Siglio Press, New York) and Three Arctic Booklets (Ugly Duckling Presse).
Ga was a recent recipient of a three-year Swedish Research Council artistic research grant. Her video series Gyres was produced by the Whitney Museum of American Art for the 2019 Whitney Biennial in New York.
