Joy Garnett is an artist who lives and works in New York. Her paintings, culled from news photographs, military documents and other images she gathers from the Internet, examine the apocalyptic sublime at the intersections of media, politics and culture. Garnett is a 2004 recipient of a grant from Anonymous Was a Woman, and serves as Arts Editor for the scholarly journal Cultural Politics. She is represented by Winkleman Gallery, New York City.
Notable past exhibitions include That Was Then...This Is Now, P.S.1/MoMA (2008), and Image War, Whitney Museum of American Art (2006). Her recent article, "Radicalizing Refamiliarization," [PDF] co-authored with John Armitage (University of Northumbria), appeared in the August 2009 issue of The Journal of Visual Culture. Her chapter on painting and Paul Virilio will appear in Virilio Now: Current Perspectives in Virilio Studies, edited by John Armitage (Polity, Cambridge, UK; Henan University Press, Beijing, 2010).
