About

Dylan Gauthier (he/him/his)

Working in a range of media including sound, performance, video, sculpture, architecture, and photography, Dylan Gauthier’s research-based and collaborative projects explore the intersections between ecology, architecture, landscape, and environmental justice. Dylan’s individual and collective projects have been exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, Musée national d'art moderne, the Parrish Art Museum, the Brandywine Museum of Art, CCVA at Harvard University, the 2016 Biennial de Paris (Beirut), the Center for Architecture, The International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP), the Chimney, the Neuberger Museum at SUNY Purchase, Columbus College of Art and Design, the Walker Art Center, and EFA Project Space, in addition to other venues in the US and abroad. 

His writings about art, education, and public space have been published by Contemporary Art Stavanger, Parrish Art Museum, Urban Omnibus, Art in Odd Places, and Routledge/Public Art Dialogue, among others. In 2015 he was the NEA-supported Ecological Artist-in-Residence at the International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP); in 2016 he was a Socrates Sculpture Park Emerging Artist Fellow (NY), and in 2017/18 he was the inaugural Artist-in-Residence at the Brandywine River Conservancy and Museum of Art, where his immersive video and sound installation highwatermarks was on view from October 2017 to January 2018. In 2018 he is a resident at Shandaken Projects at Storm King and was a visiting artist at NYU Abu Dhabi. He co-curated (with Kendra Sullivan) the exhibition Resistance After Nature at Haverford College in spring of 2017, and Beyond Species/Beyond Spaces at Cape Cod Modern House Trust in 2018.

Dylan received his MFA in Integrated Media Arts from Hunter College, CUNY (‘12), and has taught courses on emerging media in the Department of Film and Media Studies at Hunter College, and art, design, and sustainable systems at Parsons, The New School, among others. Dylan is a founder of the boat-building and publishing collective Mare Liberum, and of the Sunview Luncheonette, a co-op for art, politics, and communalism in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. He is co-organizer, with Mariel Villeré, of Freshkills Field R/D, an artist-research residency based at NYC's former landfill. He was recently named artist-in-residence at the New York City Urban Field Station and in 2020 was a Rapid Response Fellow at Eyebeam.

From 2018-2022, Dylan was Director and Chief Curator of the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Project Space, a 501c3 non-profit gallery devoted to experimental practices in the visual arts located in Times Square, NYC. He is currently Associate Curator for More Art, a 501c3 that produces public art in New York City, and Program Director for Lighthouse Works, an artist residency program located on Fishers Island, NY.

Dylan is currently a candidate in the Laboratorio Laguna PhD program at ZHdK, Zurich.
