Draft:Keren Oxman

Keren Oxman is a visual artist based in New York City. Oxman holds a B.A. with Honors from the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, and an M.A. from the Royal College of Art in London where she was a Clore Fellow. Her work experimentally speculates on the intersection of art and anthropology, the temporal artifact and the exploration of cultural otherness. Oxman is the recipient of the Rockefeller grant in New York. Her recent Artist Residencies include Eyebeam Atelier, The Cooper Union school of Art and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council NYC. Oxman's work has been exhibited worldwide in Tel Aviv, Paris, New York and London.

Oxman’s work operates as a form of anthropological research in which the artist functions as a collector scavenging and piecing together distant documents alongside cultural relics and contemporary artifacts all taken from the infinite pool of existing junk space. These aggregations, that draw from the aesthetics of traditional masks and artifacts, create a complex mosaic of mash-up and establish the visual presence of the creaturely.This creates a suggested and suggestive race that ranges from the foreign to the familiar, from the visceral to the external, and relates to a cross-cultural, post-colonial world.

In 2013, Oxman worked with her sister, Neri Oxman on a 3-D printed dress, which was debuted in the Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013, as part of collaboration with fashion designer, Iris Van Herpen for her show "Voltage".
