Bio
Lani Trock is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Through archival research, audiovisuals, movement, sculpture, and immersive, participatory installations, she works to facilitate planetary evolution into biosphere consciousness. With a practice centered in world-building, she frequently utilizes fragile, evolving, and ephemeral materials, exploring non-attachment, slowness, and deep patience. With an awareness of this universe as a fundamentally interconnected, symbiotic organism, all aspects are honored as equally essential for their unique contribution to the collective whole. Her work envisions alternative future paradigms that embody a cultural shift away from scarcity, commodification, and competition, in favor of abundance, collaboration, and mutual benefit. She received a BA in Philosophy from UC Santa Cruz in 2006 and has resided in Los Angeles ever since. In recent years, she has presented work with The LA Municipal Art Gallery, Nicodim Gallery, Jeffrey Deitch, HILDE, Big Pictures, and the LA County Arts Commission. Currently, she is an artist-in-residence at The Philosophical Research Society. The primary objective of her practice is to advocate for the peaceful evolution and spiritual elevation of humankind.
