Bio

 

Molly Grad is an interdisciplinary artist and writer, working across the mediums of drawing, painting, performance, sculpture, and textiles.

Grad is investigating personal, ancestral and collective trauma, through enacting radical empathy towards its least visible - inanimate

objects or live occupants alike. 

Utilising multiple platforms, she performs an excavation process into urban, industrial pasts, thus interfering with the vertical axis

and inverting social orders as a solution to our current state.

Grad started performing "Fleeting street sculpture" in 2019, in which she explores the potential of every day urban landscapes to create

site-specific, short-lived experiences utilising existing materials/structures narrated to create an emergence - a radical change actant.

 

Grad ignites inter-participant collisions that form absurd chance encounters.
