Bio and Affiliation
Brent Everett Dickinson is a multi-disciplinary artist and writer. He has presented
exhibitions, performances and screenings of his work around the US, Canada and Europe
including the Essl Museum, Vienna; Socrates Sculpture Park, NYC; Chelsea Music Festival,
NYC; Cornerstone Music Festival, Chicago; This Red Door, NYC; and at ArtCenter, Cal
Arts, Cuesta College, Gordon College and Manchester School of Art, UK. Dickinson’s
work has been written about in various art and culture publications such as KCRW,
artnet news, Stern, Sleek, The Other Journal, and Visual Inquiries.
In 2022, Dickinson, along with an international group of collaborators, created an
experimental performance and content generator project called International Congress
for Infrathin Studies that utilizes Surrealist techniques and concepts as an experimental
method for community organizing, political activism, and knowledge production. The
ICIS has run its monthly Infrathin Seminar since 2022.
Dickinson has also launched a new ecology action initiative associated with the ICIS called the Acid Archipelago, which works with constituencies in many localities, utilizing surrealist and surrealist-influenced methods in order to develop and enact a suite of direct and radically indirect activist approaches focused on mitigating our 3 looming world crises: world-ecological, world-economic, and world-political.
