About
Bonnie Fortune is an artist and writer whose work looks at ecology-social and environmental, as well as the communication of affect. Her work has been shown at the Smart Museum and the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, IL, Charlottenborg and alt_CPH in Copenhagen, DK, and the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, TN, among other locations. Additionally, she makes public projects for municipalities, such as Bat House, an ecological habitat project for the city of Urbana, IL created in collaboration with Brett Bloom. Fortune often works collaboratively with artists and professionals from other disciplines to realize her interdisciplinary projects. She blogs regularly on art, ecology, and the creation of place at www.mythologicalquarter.net. Her writing is also published with make/shift:feminisms in motion and AREA:Chicago (Art, Research, Education, Activism). Fortune has received artist grants from the Statens Kunstråd of Denmark, City of Urbana, the Gender Equity Council at the University of Illinois, and the Nashville Cultural Arts Project. Her curatorial work around feminist health, EveryBody!: Feminist Health 1969-2009, has been noted by the New York Times.
