MEET KEITH
Artist | Musician | Filmmaker | Educator | Raconteur
Keith Wasserman doesn't just create; he connects. From hiking the Smokey Mountains with adjudicated youth to performing on stage at Austin City Limits and navigating the creative chaos of "Holly-weird," his journey is a testament to the power of storytelling.
Keith is a builder of environments. Whether he is assembling a hand-cut collage from discarded 90s magazines or producing a film that explores the nuances of human trust, his work is always made with people, and for people. If you’re a dreamer, a doer, or a bit of both, Keith is the guy you want in your corner.
ART
Overwhelm Me with Color & Story
It began in the mid-90s in New York City. On trash night, dozens of neatly stacked bundles of magazines bound in twine would appear on the curb. Walking the East Village was like foraging for treasure.
Magazines I’d never read became fascinating; images I’d never looked twice at became vibrant. There are worlds upon worlds in those discarded pages.
" The less I’m aware of what I’m doing, the more fun I have figuring out what it is…"
