Meredith Tromble

I am an artist and writer with a history of arriving at new endeavors by unlikely routes. I first began writing about art as an artist commentator for the public radio station KQED-FM in San Francisco, mostly for the show that became Sedge Thomson’s West Coast Live. In the course of covering visual art in a medium without images, I discovered that writing helps me think. And I also saw that making art history is an active practice -- with a nod to the famed radio personality Scoop Nisker, "If you don't like the art history you are reading, go out and make some of your own." In 2020, my most recent publications are "PUBLIC Journal #59: Interspecies Communication" and "Ask not what a.i. can do for art but what art can do for a.i.," in Artnodes Journal online--that one is in English, Spanish, and Catalan!
