Antonia Wright investigates the universal human condition through a multifarious, process-oriented art practice combining photography, performance, poetry, video, installation and sculpture. A poet and photographer, Wright introduces social critique into a broad conceptual framework with imagination and conviction. She received an M.F.A. in poetry from the New School University in New York City, studied at the International Center of Photography, and has worked for Clyde Butcher, Patrick Demarchelier and VICE Magazine among others.


Last year, Wright was recognized as one of Miami’s top “100 Creatives” by the Miami New Times. Her work is currently included in the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse’s 2011-2012 Exhibition and she has a solo show at the Mosquera Collection’s alternative art space, Art@Work. Her recent exhibits include shows at the David Castillo Gallery, Dorsch Gallery, The Tampa Museum of Art with the Hadley Martin Fisher Collection, The Invisible Dog curated by Steven and William Ladd in New York, The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, The Frost Museum at Florida International University, Amnesty International’s exposé on Cuban-American Artists at A+D Museum in Los Angeles and a solo show, Are You OK? at Spinello Projects. She was a finalist in MOCA’s Optic Nerve 2011 video contest. She has an upcoming show at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood’s Project Space in April.


Wright has been featured in New York Magazine’s article, “The New Talent Show: Pot-Luck Culture,” on the burgeoning salon scene in New York City, which she helped create. She is currently an artist in residence at the ArtCenter South Florida and works for Martin Margulies as the curator for The Wynwood Art Fair.
