Karen Brummund is a visual artist making site-specific installations and researching aesthetic ways to create dialogue in public space. Brummund’s artwork has been commissioned by individuals and organizations around the world, including Pezo von Ellrichshausen Architects in Chile, the Sirius Art Centre in Ireland, and the Brady Art Centre in London. She created architectural installations for museums like the Burchfield Penney Art Center and the Everson Museum of Art as well as festivals like Atlanta Celebrates Photography and Digital Graffiti in Alys Beach. Grants from organizations like the Experimental Television Center, NYSCA, Cornell Council for the Arts, and the Alabama State Council for the Arts enable her to create community-based art projects outside of art institutions. She received an artist fellowship in Architecture and Environmental Art from New York Foundation for the Arts and is a finalist for the 2023 Laguna Art Prize in Venice, Italy. Most recently, Brummund is researching hospitality and play as modes of art interpretation through an artist residency in an elementary school and through her long term project “Lines Between.”
