Lives and works in Philadelphia, PA, United States
Biography
Marina Grize’s practice examines portrayals of sexuality in media, foregrounded in feminist and queer cultural histories. Working primarily with appropriated images translated through photographic processes, Grize unearths delicate moments of sensuality and tension, where touch, presence, and loss are hinted at, mirrored, or occluded.
Grize (*1987, United States) lives and works in Philadelphia. Her first solo exhibition with Sweetwater will take place in 2026. Grize’s work has been included in exhibitions at Sweetwater, Margot Samel, Adams and Ollman, and ICA San Diego. She received a BFA from SUNY Purchase.
