PIPA 2022 Selected Artist
Member of the PIPA Prize Nominating Committee 2023
Works in the PIPA Institute Collection

Cribb graduated from the Superior School of Industrial Design at UERJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Daughter of a Haitian father and a Brazilian mother, the artist uses the digital environment as a means to express her investigations and reflections crossed by her subconscious, while investigating social behavior in the face of the development of new visual information technologies in contemporary society. The transposition of her thoughts through the immateriality present in the digital format are central points in the works developed by the artist in recent years.

Beyond being awarded in the 2022 edition of PIPA Prize, the artist participated in the Bangkok Art Biennale 2022 – Virtual Venue with a commissioned digital work. In 2023, Cribb will present a new short film/video installation at the 22nd SESC Videobrasil Biennial. Works by the artist were acquired and are part of the permanent collection of the Denver Art Museum. Recent exhibitions include: DOS BRASIS (São Paulo, Brasil); CHAOS:CALM and BETWEEN BAB (Bangkok Art Biennale, 2022); Who Tells a Tale Adds a Tail (Denver Art Museum, 2022); Perfect Body (Esc Medien Kunst Labor, Graz, Austria); The Silence of Tired Tongues (Framer Framed, Amsterdam, 2022); Hotel Blue (Vellum LA, Los Angeles, 2022); Oh I Love Brazilian Women (Apexart, New York, 2022); Futuração (Galeria Aymoré, Rio de Janeiro, 2021); Disembodied Behaviors (Bitforms gallery, New York, 2020); The Brazil that I Want (Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, online, 2020); Beginning of Century (Jaqueline Martins Gallery, São Paulo, 2019).
