Joy Garnett is an artist based in New York. She studied painting at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and received</ref> her MFA from The City College of New York. Garnett's subject is the apocalyptic-sublime at the intersections of media, politics and culture. Her paintings, based on photographs she appropriates from the Internet, exploit the accessibility and malleability of images in the media.[1] Her work is often associated with sampling in new media art and with appropriation art [2].
Garnett's work has been reproduced in numerous publications including Harper's, Perspecta: The Yale School of Architecture Journal [3], and Cabinet magazine. In 2004 she received a grant from the Anonymous Was a Woman foundation. She currently serves as Arts Editor at Cultural Politics [4], an internationally refereed journal published by Berg, Oxford, UK.
