Chelsea Rozansky is a writer, artist, critic and programmer living in London. She is currently underway on an experimental short film “The Speaking City,” about a pack of cigarettes that are haunting her. Rozansky’s recently completed experimental collection of essays and short stories, Children of That Thing (and other shorts) meanders between fiction and criticism to explore the perverse love triangle between art, addiction and abuse. Rozansky was awarded Canadian Art’s Editorial Residency in 2020, and was C Magazine’s Writer in Residence from 2018-21, where she conducted an archival research project motivated by negative theology that questions notability, collective authorship, and the labor rendered anonymous in the production of artistic discourse. In 2020, Rozansky curated the exhibition Once Very Familiar at United Contemporary. Her art criticism has been published widely, nationally and internationally. She has given a number of public readings and talks, including “Pack Animal: Threadbare,” and “What Do We Think About Andy?” presented by the AGO as part of the gallery’s Warhol retrospective. She is the co-founder of the art collective, The Insane Secret. Rozansky also makes and programs films. She co-runs the screening series Party Favour in Toronto and is a programmer for MIX NYC, New York’s longest running queer, experimental film festival.
