Erik DeLuca is an artist and experimental musician who creates projects that respond to place and invite people to listen. His work spans performance, installation, text, and community-based learning. Through sound and archives, he explores how power shapes what we remember and how we communicate. He is especially interested in spaces where boundaries between people, land, and technologies knot, jam, and open possibilities for repair.
His work is presented at Kling & Bang, Fieldwork: Marfa, the U.S. National Park Service, and the Fall River Museum of Contemporary Art, and broadcast on Montez Press Radio and performed at Danspace Project and the Hammer Museum. His writing is published in Third Text, The Wire, and Boston Art Review. DeLuca is Associate Professor at MassArt. He earned a PhD in music from the University of Virginia and was a Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture participant. His collaborations with 7ajar School of Creative Research in Ramallah continue to shape how he listens and learns.
