stitches together personal memoir with bastardized American cultural fragments to create humorous and critical multimedia works. She is interested in minor ephemera from everyday experiences; like bodily byproducts, text messages, media utterances, and internet semiotics. She often deals with themes related to feminine gendered expectations, girlhood, queer representation, interpersonal relationships, and social belonging. Her work invites viewers to joyfully disobey dominant culture’s prescriptions—its coherence, its cleanliness, its hegemony.
Bee Gray (b.1988, Los Angeles, CA) is a multimedia conceptual artist who engages with feminine gendered expectations, girlhood, queer representation, and social belonging. To do so, she integrates personal memoir with bastardized American cultural fragments to create humorous and critical soundscapes, installations, performances, video, prints, wearables, and text. Her interest in minor ephemera from quotidian experiences appears through lo-fi processes that prioritize immediacy and affect more than technical mastery and formalities.
