Heather Kapplow

Heather (Hey There) Kapplow is a self-trained conceptual artist based in the USA. Kapplow creates participatory experiences using installation, sound, objects, text, engagement and other strategies to convert audiences into collaborators, and complex, hard-to-answer questions into tenderly co-held things, invested with transformative collective care.

Kapplow has been awarded numerous grants, residencies and fellowships, and has had work commissioned for galleries and festivals within the USA and internationally. Most notably, Kapplow has performed at Venice Biennale, Supermarket Art Fair, ARoS Kunstmuseum, ANTI-Festival, Guggenheim Museum, Museo Arte Moderno and the Queens Museum; and within works by Guillermo Gómez-Peña and On Kawara, among others.

Kapplow is active in two artist-groups that produce work collectively: Flux Factory (NYC), Mobius (Boston), and an alumni artistic affiliate of MetaLAB (Harvard University/FU Berlin.) Kapplow is also a professional language worker and Emmy- nominated researcher, who has written for Hyperallergic and many other publications; is credited as a producer on several film/web productions; and co-authored an arts-heavy guidebook to Boston for Emons-Verlag, now in its fourth printing.
