Ven Voisey is a multi-disciplinary artist living in North Adams, MA. Through sound compositions, installations, drawings and photographs, Voisey shifts perceptions of common objects and routines by presenting them in a new context, thus questioning ideas of “practicality” and “faith” in constructs of the familiar.

Born in Richmond, CA, Voisey grew up in the East Bay Area of Northern California. In 2000, he received a BA from San Francisco State University in a self-designed major combining Humanities, Electronic music , Film, and Conceptual Art. For several years, he continued his education outside of school by working, touring and collaborating with kinetic sculpture and installation collective Amorphic Robot Works, building machines, learning fundamental electronics, and composing music. In 2003, Voisey moved to North Adams, MA where he has been worked with a variety of arts organizations (MASS MoCA, MCLA Gallery 51, Clark Art Institute, Images Cinema...) and making his own work in his studio. In 2010 he was Artist-in-Residence at the Berkshire Museum and was awarded the Individual Artist grant from Local Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire. His work will be included in the 2012 deCordova Biennial at deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park.
