Rose Malenfant (b. 1997 Albany, NY) is an interdisciplinary artist and curator based in Brooklyn. Her sculptural practice deconstructs our relationship with mass production and consumption through rituals mimicking rhythms of the kitchen, body and earth. Rose uses a variety of techniques and materials including food scraps, wax, bioplastic, nylon hosiery, gravity and time.
Rose completed residencies at Textile Arts Center and Beam Center. Her work has been exhibited by galleries throughout the country including El Barrio Art Space, Atlantic Gallery, and the Factory LIC, with a solo exhibition forthcoming at Tempest Gallery (May 2026). She has received awards from The Art Students League of New York and the International Society of Experimental Artists. Rose continues to invest in her practice with the Textile Study Group of New York, Women Sculptors Group NY and The Alternative Art School.
Rose also works mentoring young artists through climate projects and public art with Beam Center, and has hosted public programming at the Brooklyn Museum, Arts Letters and Numbers and Pratt Institute. Rose's curatorial work includes exhibitions "Semi-Permeable" at Living Skin, "Propagation- Suspended Roots" at Studio 9D, and “Body as a Conduit” at Textile Arts Center.
