About

Marget Long is a New York-based visual artist whose work explores the bodily impacts and sensory politics of imaging technologies, past and present. Working across photography, moving image, installation, and text, Long considers how imaging technologies touch the body, structure and control experience, and mediate desire.

Archives are central to Long’s practice, serving as both material and method. They approach the archive as an embodied record of power, memory, and visual regimes, and as a space where histories of vision and optics can be felt as much as seen.

Long’s work has been exhibited and screened at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum, the British Film Institute, Exit Art, Anthology Film Archives, Kunsthaus Bregenz, the Center for Land Use Interpretation, and the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles, among others. They have lectured widely on photography, archives, and visual culture, including recent talks at University College London with Carolyn Dinshaw, the International Center of Photography, Yale University’s Photographic Memory Workshop, and the Center for Visual Cultures at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Their work has appeared in Afterimage, Social Text, Conveyor Magazine, Art F City, and publications of the Visual Studies Workshop. They are the author of Flash + Cube (1965–1975) (punctum books, 2012) and When I Was a Mirage (forthcoming, 2026).

Long holds a BA from Harvard University and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, where they received the T.C. Colley Award. They have taught archival practice and theory at New York University and digital techniques at The Cooper Union, where they also served as Director of Web Development and Design.
