About

b. 1995 fl, usa

Cort Hartle is an artist living and working in the Philadelphia area. Their multidisciplinary practice explores personal and collective memory, storytelling, and relationships to place through painting, sculpture, archives, and book arts. Leaning towards poetics, fluidity, and ambiguity, they are interested in the complex connections between people and their social and physical environments, and the processes through which they are built and changed. 

In addition to their studio practice, they believe in the potential of artmaking as tool for collective liberation and publish Substrate, a quarterly anthology zine that asks artists and writers to consider what a better world might look like.

Cort’s work has been exhibited nationally by spaces such as the Tampa Museum of Art (FL ), Field Projects (NYC), Big Medium (TX), and the Johnson Fine Arts Center at Northern State University (SD), and by the Munich Zine Library (Germany). Notable publications include Saw Palm: Florida Literature and Art at the University of South Florida Press, Creative Quarterly, and the anthology Cipher: The Semiotics of Love and Desire. They earned a BA in Anthropology from the University of South Florida in 2018.
