Kenneth Tam Moving Image
Faculty
Kenneth Tam is an artist who works with video, sculpture, installation, movement and performance. His work examines themes including the performance of masculinity, the transformative potential of ritual, and expressions of intimacy within groups. Tam often implicates the male body in his projects, using humor and pathos to create situations that foreground tenderness and vulnerability within unlikely settings.
He has had solo exhibitions at Bridget Donahue, NYC; Commonwealth and Council, Los Angeles; Ballroom Marfa; Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Queens Museum; The Kitchen, New York; and MIT List Center for Visual Arts, Cambridge.
Tam is a recipient of a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists, New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Work, California Community Foundation Fellowship for Visual Artists, and Art Matters Foundation Grant among others.
He is currently an assistant professor at Rice University and has a B.F.A. from the Cooper Union.
