Craig Havens (PhD) is an artist whose work spans a range of mediums including photography, video, installation and performance. Artworks address alternate perspectives on public monuments, personal archives and cultural memorials in order to reactivate their relevance in daily life. By operating within the dramatic interplay between memory systems and our present experience, the work offers viewers opportunities for confronting the reality of transience and the improbability of existence.

Works have been exhibited internationally at venues such as the Weserburg-Museum für moderne Kunst in Bremen/Germany, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp/Belgium, the Armory Biennial in Los Angeles/California, the Nanjing International Biennale in Nanjing/China, the Goethe Institute in Johannesburg/South Africa, the Brugge Triennial in Brugge/Belgium, Sariev Contemporary Gallery in Sofia/Bulgaria, Heritage Arts Space in Hanoi/Vietnam and Galerie Andreas Schmidt in Berlin/Germany, among others.
