Aria Dean

Born in Los Angeles

Raised by parents working in the entertainment industry, the artist, writer, and curator Aria Dean questions the structures of collective and individual subjectivities, with a focus on deconstructing and reconfiguring their relationship to networks of visibility, representation, and power. Often taking Blackness as a starting point and borrowing from the formal languages of minimalist sculpture and structural/materialist film (film that values the demystification of the filmmaking process as an attempt to showcase the “real event” of filming as closely as possible), Dean grapples with traditional histories and investigates the potential of other narratives attuned to material, political, and technological realities.
