| Kurt Bigenho is an artist and designer operating out of San Francisco/Oakland. He has shown work primarily in California, at Southern Exposure, Four Walls, Somarts, the Webbies, Dadafest, and the Oakland Museum. A recurring interest is with giving audiences a unique and customized "experience", and using that experiential situation as an engine to auto-generate work (i.e. physical evidence, such as a photo or party favor). He's not afraid to make "art" which is unquestionably "silly". He works under a number of aliases, including The Dept. of Shape Research, Made By Kurt, K., The Generalist, and was a co-founder of VAINGLORIOUS, the SF-based uncertainty troupe, which was formally put to sleep in 2002. He is currently developing new interactive pieces and continuing to develop The Dept. of Shape Research. His design consultancy is known as Kurt for Hire: Brand, Information, Experience. Other relevant biographical details: degree in architecture from UC Berkeley, studied yoga for a few years, likes to cook, and is a recovering pack rat. He occasionally makes public works-in-progress via Useless, his gallery/studio. |
