PRAx Presents: Rodell Warner
Rodell Warner is a Trinidadian artist working primarily in new media and photography, and is a Moving Image master’s student at Bard College.
Rooted in the exploration of race, nature, and technologies of representation, Rodell's artworks draw on personal and institutional archives to rethink the past and on digital processes to index emancipatory futures. Rodell's digital animations intervening in early photography from the Caribbean have been exhibited at the Art Gallery of Ontario in the landmark exhibition Fragments of Epic Memory in 2022, and in 2024 in the Tito's Prize solo exhibition Fictions More Precious at Big Medium in Austin, Texas. Rodell’s TERRARIA ⚘ - animated works showing hand-modeled digital 3D renderings of site-identified plant species seen through unique lenses in virtual environments - has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei in NEXUS－Video and New Media Art from the Caribbean in 2023, and in 2024 at the Pérez Art Museum Miami in the exhibition Sea Change. Over the last 15 years, Rodell has worked between Port of Spain in Trinidad, Kingston in Jamaica, and Austin, Texas, in the U.S., and is currently living and working in Boston, Massachusetts.
