Carissa Rodriguez (born 1970) is an American artist who lives and works in New York City.

Artistic practice

Rodriguez' work investigates the relationship of the material and social conditions through which art is produced, reproduced, and consumed. Rodriquez works in a spectrum of materials from cinema to photography to sculpture. Often, her exhibitions present complex and at times personal narratives that investigate the dynamics in play between artist, audience, and institution. She was a core member of Reena Spaulings Fine Art, New York from 2004 to 2015.
