info
Autumn Ahn is an artist working with paper, line, ink, and environmental conditions, such as wind or human movement, to address the primary responsive structures that construct reality in the lived experience. Often referencing material or art histories through a conceptual and interdisciplinary approach to abstraction, she uses sculpture, drawing, painting, and performance, to investigate the sensual, unpredictable, and open-ended conditions of embodiment in its relationship to consciousness.
Ahn holds an MFA in performance and critical studies, from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a BFA in painting, from Boston University. She is the recipient of a 2025 CAA Professional Development Award for Visual Art, 2024 Puffin Foundation Grant, and 2024 Mass Cultural Council Creative Individual Award. She has been an artist in residence at Headlands Center for the Arts, a visiting fellow in philosophy at Harvard University, and was awarded a 2023 Arts, Science + Collaboration Initiative award to conduct research between the Yerkes Observatory and the University of Chicago. Her work has been exhibited widely, including at False Flag Gallery, New York; Selebe Yoon Gallery, Dakar, Senegal; Cinema Tonalá, Bogotá; Le Magasin – Centre National d’Art Contemporain, Grenoble (CNAC), among others. Her work has been featured by ARTE, the Emergency Index, and Boston Art Review.
Ahn’s work is currently on view in ‘Trees Never End, and Houses Never End’ the Sky High Farm Biennial and ‘No Sun’ at Anthony Greaney Gallery.
Autumn Ahn (b.1986, USA) lives and works in rural Western Massachusetts.
