Born in San Antonio, TX, Randi Renate is an MFA graduate of the Sculpture Department at the Yale School of Art, TX. Her scientific background in biology and oceanography informs her current artistic research. Operating across installation, sculpture, and an art-science podcast, her artwork involves a choreographing of bodies within a sculptural framework to conduct her research on how things are interwoven.
As an individual who explores the world spatially, Randi has interests that lie in between architectural memory (embodied and dissociated), subaqueous states (psychic and physical), and allocentric entanglement (human and non-human). Her diverse, large-scale architectonic structures agitate an investigation on the somatic and cognitive ways of understanding our embodied being-in-the-world.
Randi also produces the podcast CORALESCENCE: conversations highlighting the connection between art and science. These episodes are “studio visits” she conducts with scientists and other researchers in their fields, exploring a broad range of topics starting with coral restoration, global climate change and ecology.
