Kristen Mills is an interdisciplinary visual artist working across installation, video, comedic performance, and teaching. At the heart of her practice is an ongoing investigation into the nature of belief and perception, particularly what makes something believable. As a part of her studio research, she has been an artist in residence at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Vermont Studio Center, Sculpture Space, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, MacDowell, and the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program.
Mills has held solo exhibitions at PRACTICE Gallery in Philadelphia, PA; at Ortega y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn, NY; and at Turley Gallery in Hudson, NY. In addition to her practice, she teaches, further exploring constructions of meaning in educational spaces.
