    Curriculum Vitae

Ivan Kashdan – MA/MFA/PhD

My installations explore the frayed edges between mediums, and the capacity for invented characters to evolve through repeated reinvention; walking through from paintings, into films, into sculptures. My imagined beings develop themselves in endless charcoal animations, and wide open, gentle ink paintings where there is room for them to travel. Other paintings have legs, for exploring. 

I also make video games with blithe germ, as the duo Kash & Germ, where you can meet those characters.
