AboutSwoon
Caledonia Curry, also known as Swoon, is a Brooklyn-based artist who merges her creative process with her activism and intent of improving the world street art. She works in a wide variety of media, such as street art, installations, sculptural works and video animations. Since 1999 she has been wheat-pasting life-size portraits of everyday locals onto the walls of New York and other cities across the world. Later in 2005 she put together her first solo exhibition with Jeffrey Deitch gallery in New York, and since then she has exhibited in museums and galleries all over the world, including the Brooklyn Museum, the MoMA and the 2009 Venice Biennale.

Swoon spends much of her time enveloped in art and social practice by way of community building initiatives in, among others: Haiti, New Orleans, and the Rust Belt town of Braddock, Pennsylvania. Swoon is a dedicated advocate for the proper treatment of mental health and trauma; through volunteer art therapy programming and various residencies and lectures, she has presented through the narrative of her upbringing with two substance-addicted parents how addiction stems from pain and should be approached with empathy rather than disdain.
