Shaun Leonardo: The Freedom to Move | Art21 "New York Close Up" from Art21 on Vimeo.

How can splintered stereotypes become mechanisms for portraying a fuller self?

Summoning experiences from his formative years, performance and socially-engaged artist Shaun Leonardo embarks on bold explorations of the ways that art has allowed him to expose and distort societal perceptions of Brown and Black people, and, in the process, make sense of his identity. Born to Latin American immigrants in Queens, New York, and recruited to play football at a private New England college, Leonardo recounts a seminal moment on the playing field: a beloved coach provokes him to play as if he was "just let out of Rikers." For Leonardo, the incident revealed the hypervisible and dehumanizing ways that Black and Brown bodies are perceived, setting him on a path to seek ways that he might exist more fully and freely in his body.

Leonardo recounts early performances of "El Conquistador vs The Invisible Man" (2006) and "Bull in the Ring" (2008), which drew upon his experiences as a former athlete. In each, Leonardo puts himself through physically exhausting processes, reflecting violence and hypermasculinity back to the audience. In more recent works, such as "Primitive Games" (2018) and "Mirror/Echo/Tilt" (2019), he engages participants in movement workshops and nonverbal storytelling exercises as a way of understanding their own experiences.

Spurred by the police killings of young Black men, Leonardo reflects on the community of his youth and asks, "Why me? Why was I the one that was able to make it out?" This questioning led Leonardo to more direct action with Assembly, an arts diversion program for court-involved youth that he co-founded with the non-profit organization Recess in 2017. Since that time, Leonardo has grappled with the philosophical crisis of operating within a criminal justice system, but remains committed to directly engaging with and caring for the participants. "Being able to exist in your own body and understand that you do not need to be defined by an experience—arrest and incarceration—allows you to move forward with a little more sense of joy," says the artist. "To get anyone to start imagining possibilities for themselves again, that is what we all should be after."

Shaun Leonardo (b. 1979, Queens, New York, USA) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Learn more about the artist at: art21.org/artist/shaun-leonardo/

Google I/O 18 Walk-In from Gerald Mark Soto on Vimeo.

Description/ As the audience is walking in and taking their seats before being awed by Google’s 2018 keynote at their annual developer conference in Mountain View, California they are welcomed and entertained by the carefully curated branded animations on the gigantic Triple Screen at the Shoreline Amphitheater. A totally of ten 20 to 30 second animations with a core message of “Make Things Better” were the focus of the 20 minute segment, as well as transitional and wallpaper-esque animations to make for a seamless experience. By building a library of elements it allowed animators to quickly structure and formulate animations. Above you’ll see a selection of the overall work and below you will see specific sections I worked on.
