Cat Tyc is an interdisciplinary artist and writer whose work explores such questions as: Why do we relate the way that we do? What is explicit in the implicit? In dialogue with others and herself, her work explores these questions in text, video, performance and installation. 

She has three chapbooks, An Architectural Seance (dancing girl press & studio), CONSUMES ME (Belladonna* Collaborative) and I AM BECAUSE MY LITTLE DOG KNOWS ME (Blush Lit) and a book of poetry, XO (The Ether Agency). Her most recent writing has been published in Maggot Brain, The Recluse, Shock of the Femme, Touch the Donkey, FENCE, Brooklyn Rail,  American Museum of Paramusicology and the WITCH anthology by Dopamine Books. 

She has presented and performed at the Microscope Gallery, Anthology Film Archives, Brooklyn Museum, Hauser & Wirth, Kassel Fest and the synthesis gallery in Berlin. She has directed music videos that have been added to the rotation on LOGO’s NewNowNext and MTVu. Her first solo exhibition, SIGNIFICANT OTHERNESS, was presented at Tanja Grunert gallery in 2022.

On WGXC/90.7 Wave Farm, she hosts MISSIVES TO THE ETHER where she interviews artists and writers about their relationship to creativity and spirit and then reads their tarot on air. She also has a Substack of the same name. 

She has been granted residencies and fellowships at Signal Culture, The Flaherty Seminar, Spruceton Inn, and Mass MOCA and has received support from the Foundation of Contemporary Arts.

She teaches writing at SUNY Albany and lives in Hudson, NY.
