Rudy Gerson (b. 1993, Las Vegas, NV, USA) is an artist and educator working across mediums of print, still and moving image, and performance in a practice that channels the force of erotics as expressed in memory culture, social life, and historical inquiry. Rudy works in a grammar of printmaking — through touch, straining, and translation. Works intend to complicate expectations of testimony and legibility through a queer poetics of touch and a devotional approach to desire under conditions of opacity and loss.
In addition to a studio practice, Rudy has collaborated with artists and organizations on design, video services, and performances: Collaborative Cataloging Japan, Asian Arts Initiative, Abrons Arts Center (2019, Jonathan González; 2022, Slauson Malone), LMCC's River-to-River festival (2022, Jonathan González), BRIC (2022, Jonathan González) and has performed for Tania Bruguera (2018) and Julie Tolentino (2023). Rudy is based in New York City and Philadelphia and teaches at the University of Pennsylvania and Brooklyn College.
