Madison Brookshire lives in Los Angeles, where he makes films, paintings, and performances. His work invites viewers to become aware of perceptual processes and the sensuous experience of time. Finding sympathies between experimental film, music, and art, he investigates hybrid forms, often inhabiting the areas at the edges of disciplines, where they begin to touch and vibrate one another. He frequently works with musicians and composers, such as Ezra Buchla, LCollective, Laura Steenberge, Mark So, and Tashi Wada.
His films, videos, performances, and installations have shown at Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival; Anthology Film Archives; Artists’ Television Access; the Block Museum of Art; DokuFest; Echo Park Film Center; Gallery 400; Gray Area; the Hammer Museum; Heliopolis; Human Resources; ISSUE Project Room; Los Angeles Filmforum; The Lab; Light Field; Microscope Gallery; Migrating Forms; Mono No Aware; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Nightingale Cinema; Onion City Experimental Film Festival; REDCAT; Union Docs; and the wulf., among others. He has had solo exhibitions at Parker Jones, Culver City; Parthenia Projects, Northridge; and Presents Gallery, Brooklyn. His awards include being named a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow in Fine Arts, an ARC grant from the Center for Cultural Innovation, a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant, and being an Artist in Residence at the Echo Park Film Center and the Hammer Museum.
