BRIAR M. PINE
Mimicry, part the series Camouflaged, 2024
Briar Pine is an artist and educator whose interdisciplinary practice explores Trans identity, masculinity, and natural resources in the American landscape. His practice is informed by being raised in the Northwoods of Minnesota, which is enmeshed in political conservatism, Christian Nationalism, hunting cultures, and resource extraction. Through photography, sculpture, and installation, he creates works that confront the expectations and limitations placed on gender presentation by imagining the possibilities for new masculinities..
Pine holds an MFA from Washington State University (2022) and a dual BA in Art and Journalism from the University of Minnesota (2018). Their work has been exhibited internationally, including at Contemporary Calgary, Canada; New Bedford Art Museum, Massachusetts; Ditch Projects, Oregon; Charles Adams Studio Project, Texas; and Fosdick-Nelson Gallery, New York. Their work has been published by the New York Times, Booooooom, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and others. He is currently living and working in Alfred, New York where he serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Alfred University.
