Visitor Assembly
Visitor Assembly is a multidisciplinary creative studio cofounded by Alyssa Knowling and Marcus Stabenow. VA’s studio philosophy combines methodologies from commercial and creative realms to help brands and makers create, define, and share their voice. Though Visitor Assembly functions as a small business outwardly, the intersections of the business and art worlds are heavily investigated by the studio.
Marcus and Alyssa maintain both individual and collaborative art practices, exploring human connection, ancestral memory, and identity politics. Collectively, Visitor Assembly’s work heavily relies on a research-oriented approach, and is guided by a wide array of mediums, such as photography and video, experimental design, installations, digital paintings, object fabrication, and poetry.
