blake carrington art

Blake Carrington (b. 1980) operates within the spheres of the visual, sound, and performing arts. His work in all of these forms displays a minimal aesthetic and finds resonance with the graphic sign systems of geography and architecture. He has recently been artist-in-residence at LMCC's Swing Space on Governors Island and at Haeinsa Temple in South Korea, and received a NYSCA grant in support of his debut CD release concert at the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in New York. He has also 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.
