Tony Cokes is a postconceptualist whose practice foregrounds social critique. His video, installation, and sound works recontextualize appropriated materials to critically reflect upon our production as subjects under capitalism. Cokes’s video and multimedia installation works (which sometimes embrace collaborative working methods) have been exhibited at MoMA in New York, MACBA in Barcelona, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, among other venues. His numerous media festival screenings include the San Francisco International Film Festival, the Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, the Seoul Film and Net Festival, and Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid. Cokes currently teaches in the department of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University.
