Ryan Trecartin + Lizzie Fitch

Lizzie Fitch and Ryan Trecartin are acclaimed for a collaborative practice that fuses non-linear videos with immersive installations. Their expansive practice in video, installation, sculpture, sound design, and music focuses on the fluid nature of identity, the unfolding definitions of community, and the complexities of subject formation. Fitch and Trecartin track the ways in which individual and shared identities are transforming alongside the disorienting interrelationships between the body and language.

Lizzie Fitch (born in 1981 in Bloomington, Indiana) and Ryan Trecartin (born in 1981 in Webster, Texas) live and work in Athens, Ohio. They have worked together since meeting at Rhode Island School of Design in 2000, where they each received BFA’s in 2004. Their collaborative work has been included in exhibitions at major institutions around the world and is held in the permanent collection of over thirty major American and international institutions.
