ABOUT
Montana Gulbrand is an interdisciplinary artist and designer whose research-driven practice both examines and critiques the absurdity of our post-modern, neo-liberal society. Through their performative, written, and collaborative endeavors, they actively engage in the process of recontextualizing images and concepts in order to evaluate the nature of our collective zeitgeist.
