Christine Cassano is an interdisciplinary artist whose studio practice is rooted in the visual expression of dynamic systems. Her work explores ways to bring complex, overlapping ideas into a shared environment through the convergence of resonance, pattern, time, and space. Her body of work is made accessible to audiences through her interactive installations, objects, and sound.
She holds a fine arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and Old Dominion University. Her work is a recent feature in Hyperallergic Magazine. She is a recipient of the 2018 Artist Research Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2016, she was awarded a Contemporary Forum Artist Grant with exhibition from the Phoenix Art Museum, supported in part by the Nathan Cummings Foundation Endowment. In 2015, she was awarded a residency at the University of West Georgia which included an interactive, community-based installation project that is now part of the college’s permanent collection. That year she was also a recipient of the Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art Grant, resulting in a published artist catalog of her work. Recent solo exhibitions include Artspace in 2021, Gebert Contemporary AZ in 2018, Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in 2017 and Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art in 2016. Other exhibitions include Scottsdale Center for the Arts, Durden & Ray in Los Angeles, Tempe Center for the Arts, University of Arizona, and Desert Botanical Gardens. Her works are in various private and corporate collections throughout the United States and abroad including Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Cousins Properties, Wexford Technologies, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Old Dominion University, SmithGroup Architects, Marriot Companies and Banner Health.
