Allison Olivia Evans is a queer artist and theorist in the Art History, Theory, Criticism and Art Practice Ph.D. program at UC San Diego. They graduated with their MFA in Studio Art from the University of Notre Dame in 2015. Evans’s work engages with new materialism(s), feminist ecologies, queer phenomenology, and photographic histories. They produce site-specific installations and experimental photographic works that explore entanglement; a concept used in the science studies writings of Donna Haraway and Karen Barad to describe both the heterogeneity and inter-connectivity of matter.

They have received awards and scholarships including the Redux Contemporary Art Center’s Award for Photography, the ISLA Graduate Student Research Award and the University of Notre Dame’s Outstanding Graduate Student Teaching Award. Evans has presented their research internationally and was named the Philip C. Curtis Artist-in-Residence at Albion College in 2017. In the winter of 2019, they were invited to participate in the Nancy Holt Scholar’s Day at Dia Art Foundation.
