Felice Grodin
34
This drawing was instigated by Grodin’s reinterpretation of Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. As opposed to
the novel’s folding in of the transforming body due to twentieth century industrialization, she inverts
this morphology and maps the twenty first century condition as outwardly vacillating between virtual
and actual space.
Felice Grodin, born in Bologna, Italy, currently lives and works in Miami Beach. She obtained her Bachelor
of Architecture from Tulane University and her Master of Architecture with Distinction from Harvard
University. Her explorations in alternative landscapes have been exhibited in Cartographies, Lost Horizon
and nolo contendere at Diana Lowenstein Gallery. Her work has been featured at the Tampa Museum
of Art, Manifest Research Gallery and Drawing Center in Cincinnati, Florida State University Museum of
Fine Arts in Tallahassee, the Center on Contemporary Art in Seattle, Dimensions Variable in Miami and
Girls’ Club in Ft. Lauderdale.
