BioI was born in the Chelsea hotel on 23rd street in 1979. My first bed was right above the neon H, but I really grew up on Grand street. Before I was brought into this world I helped with the gutting of my true home at 136 10th avenue from inside the womb. It was there that I would grow up and ultimately become the person I am now. Despite being a city boy all my life, I often rejected the concrete jungle. It was only until I moved far away that I realized my relationship to my city was inescapable. After spending a fateful year in California, and then three years in Rhode Island, I was finally able to settle into what was always my home. Since graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2002, I have pursued my relationship to the city I grew up in to the fullest. This has resulted in numerous projects which question both my relationship to the city I live in, as well as the way in which this city relates to me. As an individual and artist, I have come to realize that I am personally responsible for the quality of the city I live in. I help determine all of its infinite facets, both good and bad. As a public individual I take full responsibility for the state of the city I live in and pledge to improve all aspects to the best of my ability. |
