Michele Brody is an environmental, community-based artist whose practice thrives on the interaction with new communities and environments, and how we manage the passage of time and entropy within the constant flux of life. She has exhibited her interactive installations both nationally and internationally, as well as in NYC at such venues as the Lower East Side Tenement Museum and the Bronx Museum.  She has received an artist grant or residency almost every year since receiving her MFA from The School of Art Institute of Chicago in 1994.  In 2011 she was awarded Best 3-D Entry at the international Art Prize competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has completed two permanent public works of art for the MTA and DOE in The Bronx where she currently resides and works.
