Blake Carrington

Blake Carrington is a media artist working with video, sound, site-specific installation and performance. Spending two years in Japan, he screened work several times in Tokyo at events such as Design Festa and Flo Union. Returning to the U.S., he completed a residency at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, and is currently an MFA candidate in the Department of Transmedia at Syracuse University. He recently received grants from the Ewing Marion Kaufman Foundation and the Chancellor's Office of Engagement Initiatives at Syracuse University for co-founding Urban Video Project, a public arts initiative that uses the post-industrial landscape of Syracuse as context for multimedia projections. His work has been shown recently at Alternative Film/Video Festival in Belgrade, Pixxelpoint Media Arts Festival in Slovenia, and at 404 Festival in Trieste, among others. He is also one-third of the artist group Avalanche Collective, with whom he has exhibited most recently at University of Georgia's Broad Street Gallery in Athens.
