Bruce Tovsky

Bruce Tovsky has been played on NTS in shows including Supporter Radio: Your Specialist Subject, featured first on 14 August 2016. Songs played include Re-Gender (Excerpt) and Field.

Bruce Tovsky is a visual/sound artist, who began painting at the age of 7 and started playing with tape recorders at the age of 10. Ever since then he has been figuring out ways of putting sound and pictures together. He earned his BFA degree from Herron School Of Art in 1976 - a double-major of Painting and Etching with honors. Garnering an MFA degree in Multimedia from Rutgers University in 1979, Tovsky began showing his video work across the USA, Europe and Japan. His early 80's video/sound work INVADED was included in the Whitney Museum exhibition "Video/Music: New Correlations" and toured extensively in the USA as part of a major exhibition of new video art. INVADED was also shown at the 1984 World's Fair and is in the collections of The Kitchen and the New York Public Library Donnell Film Center. During the 90's Tovsky focused on sound collaborations with choreographers, scoring works for choreographers Muna Tseng, Charles Dennis and Bessie-winning Cydney Wilkes, among others. His dance scores have been presented at Lincoln Center, Joyce Theater, DTW, PS122 and The Kitchen. For the past several years he has been creating live video and sound improvisations, often in collaboration with artists such as John Hudak, David Linton, Kim Cascone and Michael Schumacher in a variety of spaces around New York City, such as Diapason, Experimental Intermedia, Issue Project Room, Tonic, and his own installation space 106BLDG30 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. His video/sound piece ETHER premiered at 106BLDG30 in June 2005, and played in international festivals from Sao Paulo to Seoul to Paris. The audio from ETHER was featured in "Tracking The Lincolnshire Poacher," a BBC4 radio documentary on shortwave numbers stations. Tovsky was artist-in-residence at Diapason gallery during October 2006, where he presented his latest work UNDERPASS, a 50 minute video piece accompanied by some of New York City's most accomplished improvisors, including Kato Hideki, o.blaat, Bryan Eubanks, Richard Garet and Matthew Ostrowski. Tovsky recently toured UNDERPASS in the EU, performing at Literaturhaus in Copenhagen, Steim in Amsterdam and "64" in Paris. His audio/video duo with video artist Shimpei Takeda has been appearing in planetariums, rural arts festivals and galleries around New York.
