Ingrid Koenig’s studio practice traverses a field of engagements with theoretical physics through visual art, collaborations and relational events – to investigate how the narrative of science enters the human story and becomes materially transformed through art. Koenig is Artist in Residence at TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator centre, co-organizing processes of collaboration between artists and physicists. Koenig is the recipient of grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (co-awarded for the project “Leaning Out of Windows”, 2016-20), the Canada Council, and Goethe Institute.
Koenig earned her MFA at the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design.
She has exhibited her work in public galleries across Canada, in Europe and New Zealand. Recent publications include RAW DATA – Artistic Transformation co-written with Berlin collaborators, and an article on her partnership with a physics lab in MIT’s journal Leonardo.
