BIOGRAPHY
Kyle Bellucci Johanson is an artist from Chicago, IL who lives and works in New York. Working across performance-architecture, correspondence, and media, his work refuses models of authorship and spectatorship organized around the discrete individual, instead proposing forms of practice where meaning is determined from the plural rather than a single subject position. Friendship is a method through which this refusal is enacted: a structural condition of making in which what gets produced is shaped by the relations through which it is made.
From 2018–2022 he hosted table, a project space in Chicago dedicated to situating artists’ practices through exhibition, discursive meals, and poly-vocal, collectively authored discourse. Recent exhibitions include council_st, Los Angeles; Feiertag, Kassel; Chicago Architecture Biennial; Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry, Chicago; and Centro Cultural Metropolitano, Quito, Ecuador. Kyle has taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the City University of New York. From 2023–2025 he served as Assistant Director of Admissions for the School of Art at The Cooper Union. Kyle is currently appointed as the Visiting Critic of Sculpture at Cornell University.
Kyle holds a BA in Art and Reconciliation Studies from Bethel University and studied peace and conflict at the University of Ulster in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland. He completed an MFA at the California Institute of the Arts and was a founding fellow of at land’s edge, an artist-led autonomous free school focused on intergenerational mentorship and engaged programming across east and south Los Angeles. He is a recipient of a Creative Research Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts and was a 2022–23 participant of the Whitney Independent Study Program.
