Anthony Graves and Carla Herrera-Prats met in 2004 and began collaborating as Camel Collective with a number of other artists and curators. The duo has worked solely under the name Camel Collective since 2010. Carla Herrera-Prats passed away in December 2019 from breast cancer; Anthony Graves continues to develop the practice they began together.
Graves & Herrera-Prats’ artworks are motivated by research on the subjects of collaborative production, the impacts of technology on human affect, and critical pedagogy. Camel’s works in video, sculpture, performance, and photography think through the often laborious production of sensation, and the technological manipulation of feelings as they relate to contemporary labor and our shared myths of cultural production.
The duo's projects are guided by a desire to develop a language that can critically address labor within the context of art, and more broadly, to acknowledge labor in every aspect of production. From philosophers to Foley artists, labor theorists to lighting designers, the collective seeks to bring together collaborators from a variety of often incongruent professions and backgrounds, and to provide occasion to question the disciplinary assumptions of knowledge and meaning.
Camel Collective is represented by Ulterior Gallery and have exhibited and performed at museums and galleries including The Queens International 2018: Volumes; MUAC, Mexico City (2017); REDCAT Gallery, Los Angeles (2016); Trienal de Artes Frestas, Sesc, Sorocaba, Brazil (2015); the Bard Hessel Museum, Annendale-on-Hudson, New York (2014); Casa del Lago, Mexico City (2013); Trienal Poli/Gráfica de San Juan, Puerto Rico (2012); Mass MoCA, North Adams, Massachusetts (2011); and Aarhus Kunsthalle, Denmark (2010). Camel has also exhibited works at Ulterior Gallery, Black Ball Projects, and Parque Galería, Artist's Space, Art in General, and Exit Art among other venues.
