Benjamin Kinsley
Bio Information:

Brian Eno defines culture as "everything we don't have to do." For the past four years Ben Kinsley has been exploring things we don't have to do (and the social contexts surrounding them) in an attempt to create art that people actually care about.

Drawing inspiration from folk music, football games, and 4th of July parades, he has been known to play himself, and others, like musical instruments and organize large-scale theatrical productions in secluded places (from a lake in Maine to the middle of the High Desert). All this to create scenarios that inspire others to join in the doing of things they don't have to do.

Ben is currently an MFA student at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh PA.
