Kristin Reeves is an interdisciplinary artist who stages live expanded cinema performances, exhibits electronic and lens-based artworks, and collaborates in professional theater productions.

Her work has been exhibited in venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, The Centro Cultural de España CDMX, Mexico City, Mexico, European Media Arts Festival, Osnabrück, Germany, Impakt Festival, Utrecht, Netherlands, CROSSROADS, San Francisco, CA , Ann Arbor Film Festival, MI, The Boiler, Brooklyn, NY and Steppenwolf Theater, Chicago, IL.
