Early life
[edit]Biddle was born and raised in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the daughter of noted American sculptor Mary Ann Unger and photographer Geoffrey Biddle. She attended Williams College.[3]
Work
[edit]In July 2022, Biddle’s work was included in the exhibition “Mary Ann Unger: To Shape a Moon from Bone” at Williams College Museum of Art. The show was reviewed in Frieze, Artforum and Sculpture Magazine.[6][7][8]
She was the subject of a two person show with her mom’s work, the artist Mary Ann Unger, in January of 2023 at Davidson Gallery. [9]
With her husband, Joshua Frankel, she has created large-scale murals like Queens is the Future and digital art, including "Thanks," a digital billboard visible from Truck Route 9 in Kearny, New Jersey thanking essential workers for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]
The Wassaic Project, of which Biddle is a co-founder and co-director, has been in operation since 2008 in the hamlet of Wassaic within the town of Amenia, New York.[1] Artforum has described the Wassaic Project as a "surprisingly ambitious exhibition and residency complex."[11]
