Kenneth Collins is an American artist who works in performance, film, and sculpture. He is best known for his work with Temporary Distortion, a contemporary art and performance collective he formed in New York City in 2002 to explore the tensions and overlaps existing between the practices of visual art, theater, cinema, and music. He continually works across disciplines to create performances, installations, films, albums, and works for the stage that have been shown in over 25 cities in Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States. Essays discussing his work have been published in American Theater Magazine, Chance Magazine, Yale’s Theater, NYU’s The Drama Review, Queen Mary University’s Contemporary Theatre Review, UCSD’s TheatreForum, and others. His work is also examined in the books: Every Leader is an Artist, Media Archaeology and Intermedial Performance: Deep Time of the Theatre, Theatre Today, Performance & Media: Taxonomies for a Changing Field, and Utopii performative: Artisti Radicali ai Scenei Americane in Secolul 21 (Performative Utopias: Radical Artists on the American 21st Century Stage).
