ABOUT

Elliott Linwood is an interdisciplinary artist based in San Diego, California. His training in performance art and background in computer programming informs his use of scores, notation systems and algorithms as vehicles for story telling. Indexes and cross-referencing strategies appear across a wide range of media, from large-scale grids of photographic imagery and modular arrangements of sculptural installations, to site-specific public art works. This reflects how Linwood traces his path through the world, across various levels of perception, in parallel and simultaneous ways. The content of his conceptual and documentary projects highlight political features of cultural artifacts, gestural embodiments of identity, and localized ways in which community is experienced and expressed.
