Biography
Mr. Pickerill is a poet and multi-media artist from the great plains, big sky country. In 1997/98 he began developing The Omen Project, a series of performances, music, video, photography, painting, and installation work inspired by Nuclear War and the themes in the Iliad and the Odyssey, now spanning 20 years, 16 productions, 2 play scripts, and multiple series. Mr. Pickerill has taken part in many video festivals internationally, and performs in the Brooklyn ‘Noise’ scene. He lives in Brooklyn and works at several Museums and other NY art spaces (and with Local 306 projectionists union). Recently he has installed one of his video loops as a 360 degree wall covering at Friedman Benda Gallery in Chelsea, NY.
