Pronouns: They/Them

Steven Frost (pronouns: they/them) is an assistant professor in the Department of Media Studies. They are an interdisciplinary fiber artist, and the faculty director of the B2 Center for Media, Arts and Performance at the Roser Atlas Institute. Their research focuses on textiles, memes, queer history, pop culture, and community development in DIY spaces and libraries. In their creative work, they often use textiles—these material's associations with the body and garments evoke tactile memories. Using weaving, Frost combines traditional materials like yarn and cotton with non-traditional materials from a range of sources, exploring the ways history and time are embedded in materials. 

Frost has been featured in solo and two-person exhibitions at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (Boulder, CO), ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder Art Museum (Boulder, CO), Platte Forum Gallery (Denver, CO), The Store Room (Denver, CO), Robert Bills Contemporary (Chicago, IL), Coop Gallery (Nashville, TN), and Gallery 100 (Atlanta, GA) and in group exhibitions at Alto Gallery (Denver, CO), Union Hall Gallery (Denver, CO), the Center for Visual Arts (Denver, CO), Arlington Arts Center (Arlington, VA), Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art (Rancho Cucamonga, CA), Imersten (Vienna, Austria), ACRE Gallery, (Chicago, IL), Chicago Cultural Center (Chicago, IL), and the AU Museum at the Katzen (Washington, DC) among other venues.
