Hans Kuzmich is a Belarus-born, Los Angeles-based artist working across transmission arts, media installation, and performance. His practice tunes into the acoustic and electromagnetic environments of borders and carceral sites, developing a trans, diasporic listening methodology oriented toward abolitionist horizons. Attending to the technical infrastructures and political and ecological networks that constitute each site, his work engages them speculatively across past, present, and future.
Kuzmich is currently completing a PhD in Film and Digital Media at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He holds an MFA from UCLA, a BFA from Cooper Union, and is a Whitney Independent Study Program alum. Recent exhibitions and residencies include Eco Media Festival, Los Angeles; Sonic Nomads, Seoul; SPAM New Media Festival, Seattle; Sound + Environment, Newcastle upon Tyne, England; Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts, Lithuania; Radiophrenia, Glasgow; Wave Farm, Acra, NY; Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT; The Studios at MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA; and SOMA, Mexico City.
