Noah Fischer is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work intersects with politics through a practice of drawing, writing, organizing, performance, and sculpture. The Occupy Wall Street movement was key to his political understanding, questioning the inequity structured into cultural institutions through groups like Occupy Museums and Global Ultra Luxury Faction/Gulf Labor. Fischer’s writings have appeared in bills handed out at direct actions and his essays have been published in Hyperallergic, Frieze, M/E/A/N/I/N/G, Brooklyn Rail, and October. Fischer’s solo and collaborative work has been exhibited with and without invitation at Guggenheim, MoMA, Brooklyn Museum, ZKM Center for Art and Media, the 56th Venice Biennale, 7th Berlin Biennale, and 2017 Whitney Biennial. Fischer’s interest in politics is currently taking the form of writing a speculative fiction novel about direct democracy.
