Andi Sutton is an artist whose current practice explores the ways that duration, dialogue, endurance and exhaustion can push socially prescribed boundaries of human interaction. Working in a solo and collective context, her projects take the form of web, media, and street intervention, video and performance art installation. Her works have been shown nationally in shows and festivals such as Pathogeographies (2007), Contaminate II (2007), PURE: An Exhibition (2006), The Paper Show (2005), Mix NYC (2003), Better Homes and Guardians (2003), Politically Charged (2002), among others.

Her collaborative projects include works such as the traveling performance installation Slots for Security (2003-2004), multi-media multi-artist Happening Toast for Boston (2004), and the durational performance All for Free (Free for All?) (2007). Among Andi's art and community building work has also included a curatorial practice. From 2004 – 2006 she co-developed and co-curated the Berwick Research Institute's Public Art Incubator Program, an all-volunteer artist-run residency program for artists creating work in the public sphere.

Andi graduated from a combined degree program between Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston with a BA in Women's Studies and a BFA in interdisciplinary studies, focusing particularly on Performance Art, Video, and Installation work. She currently works at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as the Program Coordinator for the Graduate Consortium in Women's Studies, is an avid cook and gardener and finds life in incorporating these passions into her work.
