----------empyre- soft-skinned space----------------------
Hi Renate and empyre,
hope this is ok.
cheers,
paul
Paul Vanouse has been working in emerging media forms since 1990.
Interdisciplinarity and impassioned amateurism guide his art practice. His
electronic cinema, biological experiments, and interactive installations have
been exhibited in over 20 countries and widely across the US. Venues have
included: Walker Art Center, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Carnegie Museum, Andy
Warhol Museum, New Museum, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires,
Louvre in Paris, Haus Der Kulturen Der Welt, Berlin, Zentrum fur Kunst und
Medientechnologie in Karlsrhue, Centre de Cultura Contemporania in Barcelona,
and TePapa Museum in Wellington, New Zealand.
Recent solo exhibitions include: Schering Foundation in Berlin (2011), Kapelica
Gallery in Ljubljana (2011), Muffathalle in Munich (2012), and Beall Center at
UC Irvine, California (2013). This work has been discussed in journals
including: Art Journal, Art Papers, Art News, Flash Art International,
Leonardo, New Scientist, New Art Examiner, New York Times and numerous academic
books on art and technology.
Vanouse’s artworks have been funded by Renew Media Arts Fellowship (formerly
known as Rockefeller New Media Fellowship, 2008), Creative Capital (2006), New
York State Council on the Arts project grant (2000, 2005), New York Foundation
for the Arts Fellowship (2002), Pennsylvania Council on the Arts project grants
(94, 95, 98), PCA Fellowship (98), Mellon Charitable Trust (98), Heinz
Foundation (98), Pennsylvania Humanities Council (98), Sun Microsystems
equipment grant (2000), National Science Foundation (1997). He has received
awards at festivals including Prix ARS Electronica (2010 and 2007) in Linz,
Austria, and Vida, Art and Artificial Life competition (2002, 2011), in Madrid,
Spain. Museum commissions include the Walker Art Center for “The Consensual
Fantasy Engine online” (1998), and the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle for “The
Relative Velocity Inscription Device” (2002).
Vanouse is a Professor of Visual Studies at the University at Buffalo, NY. He
has been a Senior Artist at Banff Center, Alberta, Canada (2011), Foreign
Expert at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, China (2006) Honorary Research Fellow at
SymbioticA, University of Western Australia (2005), Visiting Scholar at the
Center for Research and Computing in the Arts, UC San Diego (1997), and
Research Fellow at the Studio for Creative Inquiry, Carnegie Mellon University
(1997-2003). He holds a BFA from the University at Buffalo (1990) and an MFA
from Carnegie Mellon University (1996).
For the past decade, Vanouse has been specifically concerned with forcing the
arcane codes of scientific communication into a broader cultural language. In
The Relative Velocity Inscription Device (2002), he literally races DNA from
his Jamaican-American family members, in a DNA sequencing gel, in a
installation/scientific experiment that explores the relationship between early
20th Century Eugenics and late 20th Century Human Genomics. The double
entendre of race highlights the obsession with “genetic fitness” within these
historical endeavors. Similarly, his recent projects, “Latent Figure Protocol”
(2007), “Ocular Revision” (2010) and “Suspect Inversion Center” (2012) use
molecular biology techniques to challenge “genome-hype” and to confront issues
surrounding DNA fingerprinting.
