Patrick Meagher

Patrick Meagher Born 1973 in Manhattan, New York, Patrick Meagher is an artist, curator and arts organizer based in New York City and the Catskills. He holds a Master of Landscape Architecture degree from Harvard University, a BFA from Carnegie Mellon, and has studied at MIT and the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Swiss artist Alfonso Huppi.[1][2]

Meagher is a post-conceptual artist whose work explores the emotional and spiritual impact of the digital age. Through painting, sculpture, installation, and video, he delves into how individuals navigate this evolving landscape. He also contributes to art publications as a writer, and works as an art organizer and curator, broadening the conversation around contemporary art, often in collaboration with other curators, artists and organizations internationally.[3][4][5][6]

He is a co-founder of the Silvershed artist collective in Chelsea, New York.[1][2] Silvershed has been featured in Harper's Bazaar and on the cover of Art Review, as a space for creative thinking and collaboration with projects in New York, Berlin and Los Angeles.[7]

With curators Melinda Wang and Yunhee Min he co-founded the Collective Show, a grassroots arts advocacy project which brought together artist collectives for “group shows of group shows,” working with over 130 contemporary art collectives of over 1,100 individual artists for shows in New York City, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.[8][9]

He was a commissioned artist and collaborator at Eyebeam in 2006.[10]

In 2002, at the New Museum of Contemporary Art's Out of Site: A Group Show of Fictional Architectural Space, Meagher's interactive computer projection showed "architecture in the process of change," and his work Flight Path was exhibited at the Socrates Sculpture Park.
