Marina BERIO
Lives and works in New York
Marina Berio grew up in New York City and in Italy. In school, she studied photography alongside drawing, sculpture and art history. Her photographic work often deals with physicality, surface and space, and explores the boundaries of the photographic medium, imbuing it with a material presence. She has avoided overt narrative and declamation to favor quiet, open-ended imagery, which defies simple classification and signals an existential and meditative frame of mind.
Berio has been granted the Aaron Siskind Foundation Award and a Pollock/Krasner Grant, and been invited to various residencies including the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and Schloss Plüschow in Germany.
She has exhibited at various galleries and art spaces internationally, including Michael Steinberg Fine Arts, New York; Les Rencontres d'Arles in France; and Acta International in Rome, Italy. Berio earned her Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography at Bard College, and is Acting Chair of the General Studies Program at the International Center of Photography in New York City.
