KAL SPELLETICH

Kal Spelletich, the seventh of nine children, was born in an elevator and raised in Davenport Iowa, recently named "America's Worst Place to Live” has been a pioneer in new media arts for over 20 years. His work envelopes the dichotomy of a post-production consumer landscape with the integration of high-tech components, resulting in work that is interactive and changing based on the viewer’s experience. His urban forms instinctively cause his audience to re-examine the purpose of art, both at a raw, and highly sophisticated level. In addition to numerous prestigious awards and grants, Kal Spelletich is honored to have his work in many private and institutional collections, including the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
