Glenn Kaino

Glenn Kaino (1972, US) lives and works in California. His work transforms conventional materials and forms through a process that mobilizes the languages, logics, and economies of other creative disciplines as raw elements in artistic production. Trained as a sculptor in Southern California, Kaino has also worked extensively with biologists, robotics specialists, programmers, animators, hackers, cartographers, weavers, Zapatistas, and magicians, forging new relationships between distinct forms of matter and thought.

Kaino’s work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at institutions such as San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art, the Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), and the 13th International Cairo Biennale, where he represented the United States. In 2004 he was included in the California Biennale and the Whitney Biennial in New York.
