Mark Kendall

Movie & Video & Visual arts

Mark Kendall (b. 1982) is an American artist and filmmaker, who works between film, sculpture, performance, and installation, fusing complex social issues, subtleties in perception, and questions of cultural value through a meticulous, research-based practice. He is the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, Film Society of Lincoln Center, Sundance Institute, Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, and American-Scandinavian Foundation. His work engages with questions of ethical reception, seeking out ways that human, local, and vernacular struggles perform against powerful global forces. Kendall’s work has been exhibited at venues including the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC; Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. His debut feature-length film, La Camioneta, was selected as a New York Times Critics’ Pick, one of IndieWire’s “Top Docs of 2013”, and one of Fandor’s “Best Political Films of 2013,” marking him as a “name to watch” in Variety and garnering an award from the International Documentary Association.
