Notice biographique
Kevin Arrow (b. Mineola, NY 1962) is a multi-faceted artist and museum professional living and working in Miami, Florida. His work has been widely exhibited in South Florida since the mid 1980s. He has exhibited his work at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami; the Miami Art Museum (PAMM); and the de la Cruz Contemporary Art Space. His work takes on various forms, including drawing, painting, film, and audio-based projects, merging his interest in obsolete media, archival tendencies, the ephemeral object, and humor. Through his art projects, he is continually seeking to find the sublime within the mundane and the mundane within the sublime experience, in addition to investigating the interchangeability of both.
For the last thirty years, Arrow has been collecting 35mm slides and diverse printed matter and has amassed an archive of approximately 100 thousand 35mm slides related to a wide range of topics. Arrow’s interest in the medium grew, and he began finding and collecting 35mm slides shot by others. He collected orphaned slide material from commercial photo-labs, universities, thrift stores and yard sales. Eventually people began finding and donating 35mm slides to his personal archive. Acquisitions have increased through Arrow’s activity in the community as an exhibiting artist.
In 2019, Arrow established Media + Archival Studies (M.A.S., Miami) based in the Bakehouse Art Complex. M.A.S. is an artist-run media archive focused on connecting artists and the general public to Miami’s unique archives and collections as a source of information and inspiration. Located in the Bakehouse Art Complex, M.A.S. is open as a media resource, research center, and an art, photography, and film reading room. - Biographical Note by Kevin Arrow, 2020
