Stephen Prina

Born 1954 in Galesburg, Illinois. Lives and works in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Los Angeles.

Prina does not so much want to turn the viewer's eyes to the art work itself, but to the various systems of distribution and enjoyment that come after the artwork is created such as museums, markets, and the historical positioning. What is shown through a variety of media and conceptual schemes is the relation between society and art. He has participated in the band The Red Krayola, and the musical works are circulated as popular music.
