Abinadi Meza (born 1977 in Austin, Texas) is an American visual artist, sound artist, and experimental filmmaker whose works focus on transformation, spatial politics, and poetics.[1] His films, sound art, performances, and installations have been presented at[2] Anthology Film Archives; MAXXI; Institute of Contemporary Arts, Dunaújváros; FILE Festival; Crossroads Festival, SF Cinematheque; Walker Art Center; Antimatter, Victoria BC; Irish Museum of Modern Art; FACT, Liverpool; La Casa Encendida; Minneapolis Institute of Arts; Mexic-Arte Museum; New Orleans Film Festival; and Lisbon Architecture Triennale. Meza primarily uses ephemeral, precarious, site-specific and salvaged materials in his work.
As a young artist Meza studied Butoh with teachers from Japan, Europe and South America.[3] Later he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Northern Iowa, (1999); a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Minnesota (2004); and a Master of Architecture degree from SCI-Arc, the Southern California Institute of Architecture(2009).
Meza is a professor of Interdisciplinary Practices and Emerging Forms in the School of Art at the University of Houston. In 2014 he was awarded a Rome Prize in Visual Art by the American Academy in Rome.[4] In 2021 his book Manual For a Future Desert was published by Mousse Publishing, Milan, Italy.[5]
