Biography

Born in Miami, Collins grew up in Tallahassee, Florida and moved to New York City in 1979. In 1980 she moved to the East Village, where she established her reputation.[3]

Collins & Milazzo

In 1984, Tricia Collins and Richard Milazzo[4] began working together as curators to transform the group show into a critical statement.[5] Her exhibitions and critical writings with Collins & Milazzo brought to prominence a new generation of artists in the 1980s.[6] It was their exhibitions and writings that originally fashioned the theoretical context for a new kind of Post-conceptual art that argued simultaneously against Neo-Expressionism and Picture-Theory Art.[7] It was through this context that the work of many of the artists associated with Neo-Conceptualism (or what the critics reductively called Simulationism and Neo Geo) was first brought together.[8]
