Past Resident

Carrie Rubenstein

Carrie Rubinstein is a Brooklyn-based sculptor who creates life-sized installations from paper with pen and ink. She earned her B.A. in Studio Art from Smith College, a Post Baccalaureate degree in Sculpture from Brandeis University, and her M.F.A. in Sculpture from Hunter College with an exchange semester at L’École des Beaux Arts in Paris. In 2013, she was a sculpture resident at the Vermont Studio Center. This experience generated early work for Retrofit, a full room installation made entirely from paper through drawings, hollow constructed forms, and casting. Brooklyn’s Rhombus Space presented Retrofit, which was Rubinstein’s first NYC solo show, and she was their August 2015 artist-in residence. In June 2017, Rubinstein created the paper installation, Found Underground, at Hunter College’s Thomas Hunter Project Space in Manhattan.

In September 2017, Retrofit traveled to the Krasl Art Center in St. Joseph, MI. This was Rubinstein’s first solo museum show. Other notable NYC based group shows include exhibitions at Arts@Renaissance, Brooklyn Museum’s Go Open Studio Project, A.I.R. Gallery, Orgy Park, and The Roger Smith Hotel.
