ABOUT

Meghan Elizabeth Trainor is a Seattle-based artist, writer, lecturer, performer and curator. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally from Seattle and New York, to Copenhagen and Barcelona. Her most recent solo exhibition was Let Us Not Confuse Zero With The Stillness Of Electrons at Center On Contemporary Art (COCA). She has been featured in Once Upon An Instant, at HTW Berlin, Goodwitch/Badwitch at Museum of Museums; the Frye Art Museum's interview series, Virtual Visits hosted by Negarra A. Kudumu; and as a guest on Critical Bound Podcast's series Art, AI, and Technology. She completed her Masters at Tisch School of the Arts/New York University; and has been an artist-in-residence at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, New York’s Digital Performance Institute, and the Janie & James Washington Foundation.

Trainor's practice centers her scholarship in the throughlines between computer science, technology, and esoterica. She frames this through storytelling around bogs, hedgewitchery and digital witchcraft, and the use and histories of electronics and electricity. The range of her storytelling includes everything from essays on speculative histories and logic gates to spoken word pieces and cunningly worded memes and graphic imagery.

Trainor is the Curator of the M. Rosetta Hunter Art Gallery at Seattle Central College. She is also the founder of Moss Art Space, a home gallery and performance venue started as a response to the pandemic. The ArtsWA Board of Commissioners has appointed her to the 2022 ArtsWA Curator Roster for a four year term.
