About this user

Artist, poet, and performer working across mediums to explore principles in common within language, sculpture, drawing, video, sound, installation, and performance. Solo exhibitions of axial stones and axial drawings include the Baumgartner Gallery in New York (Chelsea), the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, and at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz. This work is featured in the recently published book, "Axial Stones: An Art of Precarious Balance," Foreword by Carter Ratcliff (North Atlantic Books: Berkeley, 2006).

In 2006 awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in video art.

A new book, "An Art of Limina: Gary Hill's Works and Writings," Foreword by Lynne cooke, is out from Ediciones Poligrafa (Barcelona: 2009), written in collaboration with Charles Stein.

A new book of poems: "Verbal Paradise (preverbs)" from Zasterle Press: 2011.

He has recently been performing axial drumming in New York.

For his video installation work "art is: Speaking Portraits," he has recorded some 900 artists, poets, and composers (in 11 countries and 23 languages) saying what in their view art is. This ongoing work ("art is/music is/poetry is") has been exhibited at the Snite Museum of Art (University of Notre Dame), at White Box in Chelsea, at the Samuel Dorsky Museum (SUNY New Paltz), and in several other countries (including France and India), and has been featured in several biennials (Wroclaw, Poland; Geneva, Switzerland; Kingston, New York). Further extensions of this work in speaking portraiture include "myth is" and "peace is." His other work in axial video (including "Pulp Friction," "Axial Objects," "Verbal Objects," "Axial Landscapes") has appeared internationally in museums, galleries, schools, and biennials. A 30-year performance collaboration (video/language/sound) continues with Gary Hill and Charles Stein.
