Dean Moss
Dean Moss is an interdisciplinary choreographer and video artist whose practice investigates the sense of becoming and the fluidities of identity. His performance projects are media entwined choreographic works that are deeply concerned with visual detail. These projects often include artist collaborations, and the conceptually foundational use of audience participation. His self-taught digital film works are intimate impressionistic narratives exploring perception, with image sequences featuring video collage and animation techniques. Since 2002 Moss’ creative endeavors have been organized through a project based production company called Gametophyte Inc. based in Brooklyn.
To date these endeavors have been commissioned and variously presented internationally by New York Museum of Modern Art; The Whitney Museum of American Art; PS 1 Contemporary Art Museum; The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art; The Walker Art Center; Yale University/World Performance Project; The Bitgoeul Citizen Cultural Center; The Seoul International Dance Festival; The New Visions Art Festival, Hong Kong, China; Tanzquartier Wien, Vienna Austria; FNB Vita Dance Festival, Johannesburg, South Africa; Ksirarnawa Art Center, Denpasar Indonesia; and The Kitchen, NYC among many others.
