Kristen’s work engages a variety of strategies: video, installation, comedic performances, and teaching in an ongoing investigation into what makes something believable.
In 2016, Kristen maintained an Artist-in-Residence position at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and in 2017, she gained her first museum show with her collaborative project, Sister Spaceship, at the Delaware Contemporary. In 2018, just after she successfully thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, Kristen took on a year-long residency/staff artist position at Vermont Studio Center; she then stayed on as their Visual Arts Program Manager until the fall of 2021. She traveled to Russia via a CEC ArtsLink residency at the end of 2021, followed by a 2-month residency at Sculpture Space in 2022. Last summer, Kristen was in residence at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and then MacDowell, shortly thereafter.
Kristen will have a solo exhibition at Turley Gallery, in Hudson NY, this coming September.
Kristen Mills is a video and installation artist living in Upstate NY, not far from the Hudson River.
