Born in Haiti, Andy Robert is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work intersects performance, collage&assemblage and installation.  His work addresses fragment as a state --the result of collisions --colonial, post-colonial, (mass)-migration and other “bricks.”  And he is currently living and working in Los Angeles.

“Conceptually, I’m interested in narrative structures, chance, and notions of gaming particularly for their ability to influence, alter, and frame perceptions --ways of viewing, experiencing and engaging with art and the world.  Drawing from the Constructivists’ notion of gestalt --to alter and shift the perception of space through the use of everyday materials in art, my practice, multi-disciplinary and predominately research based, is invested in arts’ critical capacity.  Acknowledging the body as a point, not alone or at center but social, of many points orbiting, pushing and pulling; conversing and relaying, I seek to question our boundaries, our space/time and our Humanity --its rights, as either a common, mutable and/or a fabrication.

And in working in the assemblage tradition and critically with archives, its’ interesting what happens to things when they come in to proximity and/or collide.”
