First Look with Nathalie Miebach at “Under A Restless Sky”

 Boston-based artist Nathalie Miebach creates innovative installations that intersect art and science. She deeply researches and tracks data connected to weather patterns and natural disasters to explore their impact on people’s lives. Like a scientist, Miebach gathers research and creates data sets, translating the information into colorful, playful, and even hopeful installations made from painted paper, wood, and other various materials. Miebach distills the scientific complexity behind her work to reveal human stories of resilience and ingenuity in the face of our changing environment.

Visually stunning, Miebach’s installations also function as multi-act, musical scores interpreted by composers to function both visually and aurally.

Miebach holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Eastern Asian Studies from Oberlin College, Ohio, along with two Master’s degrees, in Fine Arts, sculpture, and Art Education both from the Massachusetts College of Arts. She also completed courses in astronomy, physics, and oceanography at the Harvard University Extension, School, Massachusetts. Miebach’s solo exhibitions include presentations at the Institute of Contemporary Art – San Diego, California, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Houston, Texas, and Fuller Craft Museum, Brockton, Massachusetts among others. She has also participated in group presentations at numerous institutions including, Louisiana State University Museum of Art, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts, Minneapolis Museum of Art, Minnesota, the Milwaukee Art Museum, Wisconsin, and the Frist Museum of Art, Nashville, Tennessee, among others.
