Kerry Tribe, Los Angeles-based filmmaker and artist, considering each new project as an experiment and explores complex subjects through a wide range of highly restrained forms: time-based media (multi-channel videos,16mm films, installations) as well as sculpture, performance and photography. Grappling with issues of ethics and representation, she extensively researches subjects that have ranged from an urban river, aphasia, a mansion with a sordid history, and a butterfly’s wing to a man with a twenty second memory, the night sky and her senile grandfather.

Tribe’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; 356 Mission in Los Angeles; the Institute for Modern Art in Brisbane, The Power Plant in Toronto; Modern Art, Oxford and Camden Arts Centre in London, among others. She has received a Creative Capital Grant, a USA Artists Award and was the 2017 recipient of the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts for Film/Video. Her films have been screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam; the New York Film Festival and the BFI London Film Festival among others, and her works are held in collections including The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum, The Hammer Museum, The Orange County Museum of Art and The Generali Foundation. A fellow at the American Academy in Berlin in 2005-2006, Tribe received her MFA from UCLA in 2002, and was a Whitney Independent Study Program Fellow in 1997-98. Tribe is represented by 1301PE in Los Angeles, where she currently lives and works.

The Graduate Art Seminar is a forum for graduate students and members of the ArtCenter community to enter into dialog with internationally recognized artists, critics, and art historians. The Seminar is a core component of ArtCenter's Graduate Art program. The Seminar is also free and open to the public.

ArtCenter's Graduate Art program is based on intensive studio practice and rigorous academic coursework. The program is distinguished by its low faculty-to-student ratio that provides students with the attention and feedback they need to refine and achieve their artistic goals. Faculty and students are artists working in all genres—film, video, photography, painting, sculpture, performance and installation. A significant number of alumni have achieved national and international acclaim and often return to share their insights and expertise as visiting faculty and guest lecturers.
