Andrea Cote

Andrea Cote is a multi-disciplinary visual artist and dancer living in New York. She has presented solo and collaborative installations and performances in Seattle, Miami, and New York, including Henry Street Settlement’s Abrons Arts Center and Jack the Pelican Presents (New York,) the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, as well as The Dorsch Gallery (Miami) and 911 Media Arts Center (Seattle). She received her MFA in Sculpture from SUNY Purchase in 2003 and performs with PURE (Public Urban Ritual Experiment.) In her work she questions the boundaries that have traditionally divided artistic disciplines, taking on multiple roles by using her own body as subject, object, and medium. For many years she worked as an artists’ model. These experiences informed her current work, in which she mediates the space between the world inside an artwork and the one in our bodies.
