Current Priorities

I am currently focusing on my individual artistic practice, with emphasis on painting, collage, and installation, writing and performance. I am returning to making work about a variety of health topics, legal structures, autonomy, and other topics. I am exploring several projects related to healthcare and other carceral traditions including those more typically perceived as relevant to true crime while hoping to create nothing that is recognizable as that genre.

I am also exploring ways to create about history, the first amendment, about religious and other freedoms, and about responsible technology and human dignity.

Email (alison@alisonbergblomjohnson.com) is the best way to reach me. If you prefer the phone, you may leave me a message at (651) 356-8230. Please include event details such as dates, times, length (of talk or of writing), audience, goals, why you feel alignment with me, compensation, and anything else that will help me decide if this inquiry is a fit.

Sending a brief email with the above helps me best track and respond to inquiries. This is the best way to approach me. If you prefer to call please leave a message. Please be aware my phone does not track those who have called and not left a message.

General Communication

If you are interested in mentorship or would like me to know about your art please feel free to share your work. I am not currently teaching, which means I am not available for any sort of extended mentorship. I answer questions and share resources on a best effort basis, as available. Right now I'm prioritizing myself, those in my personal life, and my practice.

If you have questions about my practice in general, feel free to ask. Generally, my preference is when people approach directly and clearly. I sometimes share thoughts and context in response to answer. If you assume my thoughts and context provided are useful to understand me, please understand they are provided to be responsive to the question. I know people might not ask what they actually want to know for all sorts of reasons. But please understand it creates comedies of errors.
