Brice Peterson (born 1989 in NJ) is an artist, writer, and librarian based in Philadelphia whose work examines the limits of nostalgia and fandom as methods of queer identification with mass culture. Using found and fabricated objects appropriated from the worlds of home decor and consumer display alongside adorned and manipulated celebrity images, Brice's work memorializes the icons of his youth while unsettling their names, faces, and associations. He is a recent graduate of Cornell University's MFA program, where he received the Charles Baskerville Painting award.
Recent exhibitions include: Catch and Release, Peep Projects, Philadelphia; Idol Worship, Smack Mellon, Brooklyn; Or High Water, Safe Gallery, Brooklyn; and Pinch Point, Cornell University, Ithaca, among other shows in Los Angeles, Baltimore, and New Orleans. He holds an AB from Brown University, where he received the Ann Belsky-Moranis Award in Visual Art, and an MS(LIS) from Drexel University. Brice has also been an artist in residence at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, CO, the Post-Contemporary in Troy, NY, and the Wassaic Project in Wassaic, NY, and an apprentice at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia. While at Cornell he curated the exhibitions Book/mark: artists' books at Cornell, Afterwardsness (with Libby Rosa), and No Stone Unturned.
Brice is currently a co-director of FJORD in Philadelphia.
