Christine Gaffney: Well-Balanced

The Contemporary Dayton is proud to present a solo exhibition of the work of interdisciplinary artist Christine Gaffney. Her sculpture and videos act as intimate self-portraits and reflections on her psyche and the dualities of female identities. Gaffney portrays the dichotomy of what we present to the public versus what we keep to ourselves often employing her own body as a sculptural object to express agency and to collapse the relationship between object and maker. 

Gaffney is an interdisciplinary artist from Dayton Ohio. She holds an MFA from California Institute of the Arts where she studied Art and Technology and Integrated Media. Gaffney also studied Fine Art at Pratt Institute and the Columbus College of Art and Design. She earned a Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh. Her practice embraces ideas around body image body politics feminism and disability justice.

Exhibition runs from May 16 - Aug. 23 2025.

Opening Party: May 16 2025: 6-8pm
