Same person, constant variable. Always the “work”, never the same person.

Like the poetic objects he finds, the work of Landen Beckner waits for meaning to stick and then slide back off. Blending poetry, performance, and atmosphere, Beckner’s celebrates a legacy of Dada, happenings, conceptual minimalism, and jazz.

Forget how you know.

Landen's current work is focused on the inherent poetics of non-conceptual objects placed into environments that juice from them their own existential limitations.
