E Tubergen

Assistant Professor of Art, Sculpture

E Tubergen is an artist living and working in Leyden, MA. Tubergen’s work stems from a negotiation of queerness as a spatial condition and relationship as site.

They have been generously supported by grants from the Jerome, Rema Hort Mann, and Harpo Foundations, as well as fellowships from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Socrates Sculpture Park, the Jacob K. Javits Foundation, the Fulbright Program, the American-Scandinavian Foundation, the MacDowell Colony, the Vermont Studio Center, and Ox-Bow School of Art among others.
