Information



Michelle C. Gevint (1980) is an Israeli-American interdisciplinary artist currently based in Brooklyn. Her work examines personal and social relationships to architectural spaces and built environments specifically touching on topics such as displacement, alienation, and failure.Through images, videos, and installations she reflects on the power of cultural myths and archetypes in a contemporary context.
