Biography
Blake Carrington (b. 1980) operates within the spheres of the visual, sound and media arts. His work in all of these forms is informed largely by cultural geography, landscape and architecture. The areas between these formalized spatial practices and the experiential qualities of sound and visual art are the main focus of his work. He is currently artist-in-residence at LMCC’s Swing Space on Governors Island, and recently received a NYSCA grant in support of his debut CD release concert at the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. He has completed residencies at HIAP in Helsinki, Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida, and Rustines Lab in Montreal. In 2009 he received his MFA from Syracuse University. In Syracuse he co-founded the platform for outdoor projections called Urban Video Project, and last year co-curated a series for UVP featuring Trevor Paglen, Jill Magid, Thomson & Craighead, Miranda Lichtenstein and Jaume Ferrete. His print series Loci_, exploring the questionable translation of field recordings to abstract landscape imagery, is in The Drawing Center's Viewing Program in New York. Blake was born in Indiana and currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
