The Brooklyn Rail: Chloe Chiasson and Madison Ford (2025)

Video (1:15:04): Artist Chloe Chiasson joins Rail Editorial Assistant Madison Ford for a conversation. The Brooklyn Rail episode #1021.

Chloe Chiasson

Artist Chloe Chiasson’s practice explores themes of self-expression and queer identity. Figures inhabit environments reminiscent of her childhood in Texas that not only include but also celebrate queer identity within its distinct cultural context. By juxtaposing images from different periods and finding unexpected resonances within these disparate moments, she challenges us to consider a rewritten narrative. Chiasson received her BS from the University of Texas at Austin and MFA from the New York Academy of Art. While at the NYAA, she concentrated in painting and was awarded the Belle Artes Residency and the Chubb Post-Graduate Fellowship. In 2023, Chiasson was awarded the prestigious Fountainhead Residency. Chiasson has shown internationally in London, Germany, and Hong Kong.
