Cassie Thornton

Cassie Thornton is an artist and activist who uses social practices including institutional critique, architecture and “healing modalities” to make a “safe space” for the unknown, disobedience and collectivity; so these powerful but latent forces can show up where they are not wanted, but are most necessary. Cassie works within loopholes, finding soft spots in the steel and glass surfaces of financialised housing, wage work, for-profit education and corporate healthcare. Her projects have appeared at or with transmediale, San Francisco MoMA, West Den Haag, MoneyLab, Swissnex San Francisco, Pro Arts Gallery & Commons, Dream Farm Commons, Furtherfield, Gallery 400, Strike Debt Bay Area, Red Bull Detroit, Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, Flux Factory, Bemis Center for the Arts, Berliner Gazette and more.
