Born in 1987 and online since childhood, Devin Kenny has witnessed the shift from web 1.0 to the “social internet” of web 2.0 to today’s paradigm. His work is colored by this transition. Using sculpture, video, photography, text, performance, music, and painting, his practice engages questions of identity construction and the aesthetics developed in networks: from quilt codes allegedly used on the Underground Railroad to memes and viral media. Raised on the south side of Chicago, Kenny relocated to New York to study at Cooper Union. He has participated in the Bruce High Quality Foundation University, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the summer program at SOMA in Mexico City, the WhitneyIndependent Study Program, and the Core Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. His performances have been presented at art and music venues in the United States and internationally, including Artspace Auckland; REDCAT, LA; MoMA PS1, NY; the Julia Stoschek Collection, Berlin, among others
