Amy Khoshbin is a Brooklyn-based artist merging performance, video, collage, costume, and sound to examine our individual and collective compulsion to create, transform, and sometimes destroy the stories of who we are, who we think we are, and who we think we should be. Using a collage-style approach to creating works across mediums, she uses imagery from different sources to produce media and mythologies using humor and a handmade aesthetic. She has shown her solo and collaborative work at venues such as Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Abrons Arts Center, The Invisible Dog Art Center, Blanton Art Museum, and festivals such as River to River, South by Southwest and MakerFaire. She is currently in a sci-fi rap group called C∆N-D with sound artist Michael Clemow and head dancer Liz McAuliffe. She has also collaborated with Laurie Anderson, Karen Finley, Tina Barney, and poets Anne Carson and Bob Currie, among others. She was an Artist-in-Residence at The Watermill Center in October 2015.
