Held in Transition

Frida Foberg is a Swedish socially engaged artist and architect based in Brooklyn, New York. Her interdisciplinary practice bridges visual art, design, and social engagement, creating spaces where individual and collective stories unfold. Frida’s work explores themes of belonging, awareness, and resilience, often involving audiences and communities in creative processes that foster connection and dialogue. Through installations, performances, murals, and visual works, she invites participants to co-create shared expressions of identity and meaning across urban and rural contexts.

Her work has been presented at venues including the Venice Biennale (Italy), Liljevalchs (Sweden), Arko Art Museum (South Korea), Wilmer Jennings Gallery and The Invisible Dog Art Center (New York), Stove Works (Tennessee), and Arts Letters & Numbers (New York).

Tacie Jones is an Assistant Professor of New Media at Marshall University’s School of Art & Design, where she teaches experimental time-based art. She holds studio and research degrees from George Mason University and the Glasgow School of Art, as well as an MFA in Creative Technologies and a practice-based interdisciplinary PhD from Virginia Tech. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Arts Letters & Numbers (New York), Rhizome DC (Washington, DC), The Women’s Library (Australia), and the Taubman Museum of Art (Virginia).

Her project Gossamer Bodies investigates the disconnection between mind and body rooted in Enlightenment thought and perpetuated by digital life, using immersive media, performance, and sensory technologies to explore presence and healing. She is the recipient of the 2025 John Marshall Scholars Award and the 2021–22 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship, and currently serves on the New Media Caucus Executive Committee as Co-chair of Grants, Scholarships, and Finances.
