Morgan Nitz is a queer, Philly based, interdisciplinary artist. Their videos, installations, paintings, and poetry take humorous approaches to subjects like surveillance, glitches, interindividual differences in perception, and the technological singularity. They are influenced by conceptual artists like Sondra Perry, Hito Steyerl, and Anish Kapoor, and absurdist or science-fiction writers, like Carmen Maria Machado and Tom Stoppard.
They earned their BFA in Sculpture and the Edith Weil Hecht Memorial Award in Sculpture from Tyler School of Art in 2018. They have completed a residency at Jasper Studios, exhibited at The Institute of Contemporary Art, Vox Populi, Pilot Projects, and Philly Improv Theatre, and was a co-curator and founder of the pop-up gallery The Legume Room. Currently, they are a writer and Operations & Development Editor for Philly Artblog and a curator for Tyler School of Art’s Alumni gallery, Straw.
