Emily Puthoff joined the Sculpture faculty at SUNY New Paltz in 2003 and she is currently Co-Heading the Sculpture Program with Professor Steven Bradford. She earned a MFA from Arizona State University in 2002 and a BFA from Ohio University in 1996. Her work ranges in scale and scope from artist books to immersive installations, while her mediums encompass everything from the lo-fi (cast sugar, film, clay) to the hi-fi (video, robotics, generative sound installations). She has also on occasion ventured into performance, but often prefers to position the viewer as the integral performer of her pieces. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including: Ceramics and Sound, Neues Kunstforum, Cologne, Germany | Here and Elsewhere- Aim 27, Bronx Museum for the Arts, Bronx, NY | 6th Manifestation International Video and Electronic Art Festival, Champe Libre, Montreal | Axel Raben Gallery, NYC | OUT VIDEO Festival, National Centre for Contemporary Arts, Ekaterinberg, Russia | Eyelounge, Phoenix, AZ | Bliss Gallery, Pasadena, CA | Arizona State University Art Museum | the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tucson, AZ.
