Kristen’s work engages a variety of strategies: video, installation, comedic performances, and teaching in an ongoing investigation into what makes something believable.
In 2016, Kristen maintained an Artist-in-Residence position at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and in 2017 she gained her first museum exhibition at the Delaware Contemporary with her collaborative project, Sister Spaceship. In 2018, she thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail followed by a year-long residency/staff-artist position at Vermont Studio Center, a CEC ArtsLink residency in Russia, and Sculpture Space, in Utica NY. Last summer, 2023, Kristen attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and MacDowell, at the start of 2024.
Kristen is a recipient of the 2024-2025 Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program, and she will have a solo exhibition at Turley Gallery, in Hudson NY, this fall.
Kristen Mills is a video and installation artist living in Upstate NY, not far from the Hudson River.
