Judy Malloy

In the twenty-five years since she first wrote Uncle Roger on Art Com Electronic Network, Judy Malloy has created an innovative body of new media narrative poetry that in hypertextual structures explores the lives of artists.  Beginning in the 1970's with a series of handmade visual books that sought to create a nonsequential reading experience, and including its name was Penelope,  (Eastgate, 1993) her work has been featured in over one hundred curated exhibitions, invited readings and panels, and publiications  including the San Francisco Art Institute; Tisch School of the Arts, NYU; Sao Paulo Biennial; Franklin Furnace; National Library of Madrid; the Los Angeles Institute for Contemporary Art; Target Video; SITE; Houston Center for Photography; The Walker Art Center;  Visual Studies Workshop; Eastgate Systems; E-Poetry, Barcelona; Boston Cyberarts; Electronic Literature Organization; E.P. Dutton;  Art Com Electronic Network; Heresies; Tanam Press; Leonardo; MIT Press, The Iowa Review Web; Blue Moon Review;  and the National Endowment for the Arts website.  As an arts journalist and Internet information developer, she has worked most notably as an artist-in-residence/consultant in the document of the future  and as Editor of The New York Foundation for the Arts sponsored NYFA Current, (formerly Arts Wire Current) an Internet-based National journal on social, economic, philosophical, and political issues in the arts and culture. Malloy has taught as Visiting Faculty in the Digital Media program at the San Francisco Art Institute.
