Tali Weinberg

bio

Tali Weinberg is an interdisciplinary artist and weaver. Her weavings, sculptures, and drawings investigate the interconnected harms extraction inflicts on humans and the earth, from rising temperatures and species loss to illness and displacement. Combining plant-dyed threads, plastics, wastepaper, data, and found text, her work retraces and reimagines relationships between corporeal and ecological bodies and between grief and futurity.

Weinberg’s art is in the collections of the Berkeley Art Museum, the Georgia Museum of Art, and the Denver Botanic Gardens and is exhibited internationally, including at Griffith Art Museum (Australia), Zhejiang Art Museum (China), 21C Museum (Oklahoma City), University of Colorado Boulder Art Museum, Center for Craft (Asheville, NC), and Dreamsong (Minneapolis, MN). Her artwork has been featured in the Fifth National Climate Assessment, the New York Times, Colossal, National Resource Defense Council’s onEarth Magazine, American Craft, and Ecotone, among others. She is the recipient of an Illinois Artist Fellowship, Tulsa Artist Fellowship, Serenbe Fellowship, Windgate Fellowship to Vermont Studio Center, a residency at New York’s Museum of Art and Design, and grants from the Puffin Foundation and Illinois Arts Council. Weinberg received her MFA from California College of the Arts and an interdisciplinary MA and BA from New York University. She lives and works in Champaign-Urbana, IL.
