Erik DeLuca is an artist and experimental musician who creates projects that respond to place and invite people to listen—both literally and metaphorically. 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 of Art Education and Contemporary Art Practice at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. He earned a PhD in music from the University of Virginia and was a Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture participant. His collaborations with the 7ajar School of Creative Research/Resistance in Ramallah shape his listening and learning. erikdeluca[@]gmail.com
