Kirsten Stolle

Using collage, text-based images, textiles, and installation, Kirsten Stolle examines the global influence of agrichemical companies on our food system. The recipient of Pollock-Krasner Grant, her work has been shown at the Central Museum of Textiles, Poland; NOME, Berlin; North Carolina Museum of Art; Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art; San Jose Museum of Art; and Minneapolis Institute of Art. Her work has been published in The Atlantic, Harper’s Magazine, Poetry, and Photograph.

Kirsten will develop Farming the Future, a collage and textile project that critically examines the impact of digital technologies on our food system. She’ll explore how agrichemical corporations leverage proprietary AI, advanced drones, satellites, and machine learning to reshape global farming practices. Rooted in her extensive research into chemical companies, Farming the Future hopes to offer an alternative entry point for engaging with the complex concerns and rapid evolution of these technologies.
