Fall 2018


Susan Cianciolo (born 1969, USA) is a New York–based visual artist, fashion designer, and healer whose work has played a key role in the intersection of contemporary art and experimental fashion. Working across collage, textiles, garments, installations, publications, and performance, she transforms personal objects and archival materials into intimate, process-driven works. Cianciolo founded the influential fashion project RUN in 1995, producing eleven collections through 2001 and expanding into conceptual ventures such as RUN Store and RUN Restaurant. Her practice is known for its deeply personal yet universally resonant approach to art, craft, and everyday life.
