Biography


Andros Zins-Browne, (born New York, 1981) works at the intersection of performance and dance. His work extends choreographic practices into encounters with dancers, nondancers, singers, objects, students and texts. Central to these pursuits is an investigation of the ways that embodiment- in its many forms- can trouble our understandings of materiality.


Since 2016, his performance Already Unmade, where he re- (or de-) hearses previous works––‘unmaking’ them––has been presented at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai; and Lafayette Anticipations, Fondation Galeries Lafayette, Paris.


In 2019, Atlas Unlimited, a series of exhibitions in collaboration with artist Karthik Pandian that explore destruction and reconstruction, was featured at the Logan Center for the Arts and the Graham Foundation in Chicago, at the PERFORMA 19 Biennial, New York, and as a series of music videos currently presented on the Criterion Channel.
In 2020/21, his work was commissioned for online projects by Danspace Project, the Aspen Art Museum, and Triple Canopy.


In 2022, Zins-Browne worked with vocalists Jessika Kenney and Holland Andrews on color a body who flees, a collaborative sound installation and performance series at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.


Performance remixes of existing artworks include The Tony Cokes Remixes, 10th Berlin Biennale (2018), Dia Art Foundation (2023); See-Saw, MoMA, New York (2019) and Asymmetry 222, Getty Museum, Los Angeles by Simone Forti; and Jérôme Bel, 1995 (2020) KADIST, Paris, in collaboration with e-flux (2020).


In collaboration with Ley, Kris Lee and a host of co-conspirators, Zins-Browne premiered duel c (River-To-River Festival, 2023) and duel H (Danspace Project, 2024) in choreographies that commingled care and violence. Zins-Browne is a contributor to Dance History(s): Imagination as a Form of Study (forthcoming in 2024), edited by Annie-B Parson and Thomas F. DeFrantz, and published by Dancing Foxes Press in collaboration with Big Dance Theater and Wesleyan University. He is the recipient of awards from the Goethe-Institut; Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts; Ministry of Culture of the Flemish Community; and New York State Council on the Arts.
