Biografie
Ben Russell (b.1976, USA) is an itinerant media artist and curator whose films, installations, and performances foster a deep engagement with the history and semiotics of the moving image. Formal investigations of the historical and conceptual relationships between early cinema, visual anthropology, and structuralist filmmaking result in immersive experiences concerned at once with ritual, communal spectatorship and the pursuit of a "psychedelic ethnography."
A 2008 Guggenheim Fellow and 2010 FIPRESCI award recipient for his feature film Let Each One Go Where He May, Ben began the Magic Lantern screening series in Providence, Rhode Island, was co-director of the artist-run space Ben Russell in Chicago, IL, toured with film/ video/ performance programs world-wide and performed in a double-drum trio called BEAST.
His exhibitions include: Arts sous influence, La maison rouge, Paris, 2013; PhotoCairo 5, Townhouse Factory Space, Cairo, 2013; Uh Oh It's Magic, ThreeWalls, Chicago, 2011; Trypps #7 (Badlands), Wexner Center, Columbus, 2011; 12×12: Ben Russell, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, 2010. Past solo screenings include: Centre Georges Pompidou, Rotterdam Film Festival, RedCat, les Abattoirs, Viennale, CCCB and the Museum of Modern Art.
