Kevin Townsend is an interdisciplinary artist and professor currently living and working in Boston who holds a BFA from the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at George Washington University and an MFA in Art Practice from School of Visual Arts. Kevin’s time-based work stems from an expanded drawing practice and centers around mark-making, obsession and our experience of ‘being in time.' His current work brings together elements of drawing, sound, video, installation, and performance where the resulting works are temporary, durational, and often public. Kevin’s work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally with recent exhibitions including: TIME/LINE, a solo show at Bluffton University in Ohio, Draw to Perform 2: International Symposium on Drawing and Performance in London, England, DIB—Drawing International Brisbane Symposium in Brisbane, Australia,  Duration & Dialog at Katzman Contemporary in Toronto, Canada, Work with Me' at Monserrat College of Art Galleries in Beverly, Massachusetts, and AiOP—Art in Odd Places in New York City. He has just completed a 1-year visiting artist and lecturer appointment in Drawing & Painting at Boston’s School of the Museum of Fine Art at Tufts and is currently a visiting professor in the Art Education Department of Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
