About
Lisi Raskin's work is transdisciplinary, spanning sculpture, painting, installation, performance, video, music, critical writing, pedagogy, and curricular practice. Raskin has made their engagement with institutions of art, including the academy and its stakeholders, into gathering places for expanding disciplinary limits, interrogating asymmetrical power dynamics, and developing methods that are transferable to others. Their work on pedagogy has been published in Hyperallergic and in Out of Place: Artists Pedagogy and Purpose. Their forthcoming book In Practice: From Higher Education to Liberatory Transformation, (Punctum, 2027) chronicles their last decade of work.
Raskin has exhibited site-sensitive installations at Art in General, Kunsthaus Graz, Casino Luxembourg, the Frankfurter Kunstverein, the CAC Vilnius, PS1/MoMA, the Blanton Museum of Art, and the Center for Curatorial Studies/Hessel Museum, among others. Their web projects have been published in Triple Canopy magazine, with The Dia Foundation and in Creative Time Global Reports. They have built large-scale environments at the 11th International Istanbul Biennale, the 2nd Athens Biennale, and the 3rd Singapore Biennale. They have installed sound work in the Time Machine Biennale of Contemporary Art, D-O Ark Underground, and the Momentum 7 Biennale of Nordic Art. Their discrete objects and paintings have been shown at Churner & Churner, Riccardo Crespi, Milliken, Guild & Greyshkul, and Reception, among others.
Raskin has been the recipient of grants and residencies including a Creative Time Global Residency and the Guna S. Mundheim Berlin Prize at the American Academy in Berlin. Raskin is an Associate Professor of Sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design.
