Artist Heidi Schwegler makes her Private Apocalypse Public

Jason Ramos, curator at RAID Projects, Los Angeles, interviews exhibiting artist Heidi Schwegler about her current video installation at RAID on October 15, 2011.

Heidi Schwegler explores a wide range of materials in the service of very depressing subject matter. Schwegler constructs artifacts and objects from resin, metal, wood, wax, found objects and digital media. She has participated in numerous group and solo shows, including exhibitions at the Tacoma Art Museum, the Hallie Ford Museum and at Disjecta Interdisciplinary Art Center where her exhibition Wrest was reviewed in Art In America. Schwegler is a recent recipient of a Hallie Ford Fellowship, a MacDowell Fellowship, and several RACC Individual Project Grants.
