Cameron A. Granger came up in Cleveland, Ohio alongside his mother, Sandra, inheriting both her love of soul music, and habit of apologizing too much. A video artist and 2017 alumni of the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, he uses his work to reconcile his state as an individual shaped by and existing in American history, its media, and all of its associated violence. His recent projects include “The Get Free Telethon” a 24 hour livestream community fundraiser sponsored by Red Bull Arts, “Pearl” a body of collaborative works with his mother at Ctrl+Shft in Oakland, and “A library, for you” a traveling community library most recently housed at ikattha project space in Bombay, India. In 2020 his work was collected & commissioned by both the Columbus Museum of Art & Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio.
