Wyatt Bertz
Wyatt Bertz (b. 1991) is an artist working across sculpture, video, design, sound, and performance to explore consumer culture’s impact on our private, public and spiritual worlds. His work combines an autobiographical investigation of American suburbia, craft-intensive fabrication processes, sediment from heavily-polluted areas, and experimentation with light as a material. Recent and upcoming presentations include Accent Sisters, Bombay Beach Biennale, Chashama, CLEA RSKY West, Coaxial Arts, Cristina Grajales, The Emily Harvey Foundation, The Future Perfect, Jonald Dudd, Little Lightning Gallery, NADA New York with 95gallon, nonfilms, myplasticheart, Ridgewood Off-Kilter, Stephen Street Gallery, The Orchard, Thirty Tigers, and Transgressive Records. He has collaborated extensively with Newtown Creek Alliance to create multimedia artwork that raises awareness of environmental issues.

20 Empty Tree Beds - 24 Participating Artists
