Professor Dr. Emily Gui

Biography

Emily Gui is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose work encompasses printmaking, sculpture, and photography installation. Her creative practice pushes the boundaries of process and technique through material experimentation. Gui's current work re-materializes objects to examine the nuanced human relationships connected to ubiquitous materials and collections of garbage, urging viewers to engage in slow-looking and reassess their habitual consumption of images and objects. Her work has been exhibited in galleries such as BAMPFA, Print Center of New York, University of Texas, and Kala Gallery. With teaching experience at Kala Art Institute, UC Berkeley, and UC Davis, Gui has enriched the academic landscape since 2015. She holds a B.A. in Studio Arts from Bard College (2012) and an MFA from UC Berkeley in Art Practice Department (2021), where she was awarded the Eisner Prize for Creative Excellence and the Research Fellowship Award from Berkeley Center for New Media.
