2024-25 Kameron Neal
Kameron Neal is a Brooklyn-based artist and designer working across video, installation and performance. As a Public Artist in Residence in New York City’s Department of Records he created Down the Barrel (of a Lens), an archival film installation interrogating NYPD surveillance that has been exhibited at Lincoln Center, Museum of the City of New York and Brooklyn Army Terminal.
As a projection designer, Neal has worked on numerous productions including Dark Disabled Stories at The Public Theater, for which he received Lucille Lortel and Henry Hewes Design Awards. He is also the recipient of a Princess Grace Award, an Opera America Award for his collaborations with composer Paul Pinto, and an NYSCA/NYFA Fellowship in Digital/Electronic Arts. His work has been featured in music videos by Billy Porter and Rufus Wainwright and seen at a variety of institutions including the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Under the Radar, Ann Arbor Film Festival and Sound Scene at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum.
Neal’s fellowship project Camera/Work is a continuation of the research he began with Down the Barrel (of a Lens), using movement to creatively exploit the NYPD’s omnipresent surveillance infrastructure.
