Curtis Stage

Much of Curtis Stage's work is an exploration of sound and vision, which collides the worlds of contemporary music and art. Stage's work addresses the possibility that video/sound can be a seemingly endless archive of cultural and personal associations to be layered, ripped apart, and re-mixed by the artist and viewer to create new "narratives". For Stage, reinterpretation, plundering and rearranging to create a frenzy of imagery and sound that is at once alluring and dizzying, fuels his interest in communication and our cultural need to connect with each other.

Curtis Stage is a Los Angeles based artist working with media art and photography. For the last few years much of his work has revolved around relationships to the self and how we connect with each other in a culture of technological experience. We have wrapped music, television, cinema, and the Internet into the fabric of our lives and it has influenced our sense of time, place and identity.

Curtis shows work in Los Angeles at Fringe Exhibitions in Chinatown and has participated in international exhibitions including Art Miami. He also is the Vice Chair and Assistant Professor of Multimedia at the Institute of Arts and Multimedia at Los Angeles Mission College and Visiting Artist of Digital Art at Claremont Graduate University.
