Russell Perkins
Russell Perkins works across media and often collaboratively. Recent projects consider how risk and precarity register on individual bodies, and were made together with forensic scientists, professional poker players, a biochemical reagent manufacturer, and singers specializing in extended vocal techniques. This Spring, Russell was resident at the Fondation Fiminco, where he collaborated with artificial intelligence researchers at Sony CSL Paris to create a sound installation for the Réserves du Frac Île-de-France.
As a 2018-2019 Queer|Art Fellow, he developed another site-specific work for New York’s LGBT Center with artist Nancy Brooks Brody. Recent and upcoming shows include Ordinary Time at OCDChinatown, and Omniscient: Queer Documentation in an Image Culture, at the Leslie-Lohman Museum. He received an MA in philosophy from the University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, and an MFA from Hunter College in 2018.
