Visiting Artist Program: Katya Muromtseva

Katya Muromtseva is a visual artist whose work explores personal and collective memory through painting, installation, video, and socially engaged practice. Drawing on her background in philosophy and stage design, she develops lyrical and conceptually driven projects that investigate the ways histories are documented, transmitted, and imagined.

Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions and projects at M HKA (Antwerp), Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (Moscow), Moscow Museum of Modern Art, XL Gallery, Art Front Gallery, and the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, among others. She has participated in residencies at WHW Akademija (Zagreb), Garage Studios & Residencies (Moscow), and Cornerstone Studios (New York City).

Muromtseva was a recipient of the Present Continuous program at M HKA, the Innovation Prize for Contemporary Art (2020), and a Fulbright Fellowship (2020–2022). In 2020, she was included in Forbes Russia’s 30 Under 30 list. Her work has been featured in Artforum, The Economist, The New York Times, The World, and Tokyo Art Beat, among other publications.

She received an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University and is based in Harlem, New York.

All lectures are free and open to the public. These lectures will be held from 12:45 pm to 1:45 pm (free period) in the Fine Arts Building, Room 110.

About the program

Nationally and internationally acclaimed visual artists and art collectives visit our campus to present lectures about their work and professional practices. Visiting artists and designers have a chance to meet with the students and the larger Rutgers University–Camden community to continue the dialogue about perspectives on contemporary art. The main theme of our Fall 2026 lecture series is Art and Immigration.
