A filmmaker, painter, performance artist, and musician, James Nares has followed a creative trajectory that is at once wide ranging and narrowly focused. His work in various media explores concepts of movement, repetition, rhythm, chance, and improvisation. His video Street was shown at the Met in spring 2013, along with an accompanying exhibition of objects from the Museum's collections, chosen by the artist.
His work is featured in a number of public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In spring 2014, Rizzoli will publish a monograph dedicated to James Nares's work in all media over the last four decades.
