Mark Tribe : Lifelong Interests, Online Communities, and The Art of Critique

In Episode 6 of The Art Career, Emily McElwreath interviews Mark Tribe. The art world knows Mark Tribe in many different ways, and as soon as you’re introduced to him, you’ll see him everywhere. Simply put, Mark Tribe is a renaissance man. He’s developed a well-rounded career as an artist and educator. In varying combinations, Mark works in painting, photography, video, installation, performance and new media. While maintaining an incredible art practice, he also serves as the Chair of the MFA Fine Arts Department at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Maintaining those two practices alone is a feat, but Mark has somehow managed to start Rhizome. The Rhizome platform is an affiliate in residence at the New Museum which champions born-digital art and culture through commissions, exhibitions, scholarship, and digital preservation. In this episode, Mark shares his balance as an artist, academic and entrepreneur.
