Richard Kraft is a British born artist whose multidisciplinary works engage many spheres of inquiry (language, literature, history, and popular culture) and incorporate a variety of media (film, collage, photography, drawing, and performance). This diversity of interests and methods is united in acts of alteration and transformation of the everyday world, and in the exploration of simultaneity, multiplicity and indeterminacy.

Kraft is the recipient of a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship and his work has been widely exhibited at museums, galleries, and university spaces. He also uses public spaces (library aisles, sides of buses, city streets, cow pastures, abandoned air force bases) to interrupt and reconfigure the everyday. He is the author of Here Comes Kitty: A Comic Opera and the five-volume set of artist’s books “It Is What It Is”: All the Cards Issued to Donald Trump, January 2017-January 2021 (Siglio, 2021). He is the co-editor of John Cage’s Diary: How to Improve the World (You Will Only Make Matter Worse), Marcel Broodthaers: My Ogre Book, Shadow Theater, Midnight, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres: Photostats.
