Bio/Statement:
fields harrington is one of the selected artists for the 2025 NYC-Based Artist Residency Program.
fields harrington is a Brooklyn-based artist whose practice spans sculpture, photography, and writing. Through his work, he examines how tools, technologies, and infrastructures—often assumed to be neutral—are shaped by underlying ideologies of race, value, and power. By repurposing industrial products and scientific instruments, harrington explores how these objects carry embedded histories, revealing the ways they structure knowledge, labor, and social relations.
harrington holds a BFA from the University of North Texas and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. He studied at San Antonio Community College and participated in the Whitney Independent Study Program. His work has been presented in solo exhibitions at David Salkin Gallery, KAJE, Petrine, and Y2K Group and included in group exhibitions at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Galerie Thomas Schulte, Parsons School of Design, 52-07 Flushing Avenue, and Automat Gallery. He was an L.A.B. researcher-in-residence at The Kitchen in collaboration with The School for Poetic Computation and took part in the research residency Site to be Seen at RAIR.
The 2025 NYC-Based Artist Residency Program is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
