Angela Washko

Angela Washko is a performance and video artist creating new forums for discussions of feminism where they do not exist. Her practice is research-based, employing data as a storytelling tool to create prototypes for actions by others. In 2012, Washko founded The Council on Gender Sensitivity and Behavioral Awareness in World of Warcraft as an ongoing intervention on communal language formation inside the most popular online multiplayer role playing game of all time. A recent recipient of The Franklin Furnace Performance Fund Grant, a Rhizome Internet Art Microgrant, a Danish International Visiting Artist Grant and the Terminal Award, Washko’s practice has been highlighted in Time Magazine, The Guardian (UK), ARTnews, VICE, Hyperallergic, Rhizome, the New York Times, The Creator’s Project, Dazed and Confused Magazine, Digicult, ArtInfo, Bad At Sports and more.  Her projects have been presented nationally and internationally at venues including Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, MOD: Monitor Digital, Moving Image Art Fair, K11 Concepts, Interaccess, the Rotterdam International Film Festival, Institute for Contemporary Art Boston and Foundation Vasarely, to name a few.
