Robin Deacon (born 1973 Eastbourne, England) is an artist, writer and filmmaker currently based in the USA. Working since the early 1990s, much of his work encompasses live performance with a series of performed lectures that have explored journalistic and documentary approaches to arts practice. His work is characterised by a humorous and often satirical approach to the subject matter. His performances and videos have been presented in the UK and internationally in venues such as The ICA, London (1996), The Young Vic, London (2000), CCCB, Barcelona (2006), Tanzquartier Wein, Vienna (2007) and the Centre d'art Scenique Contemporain Lausanne, Switzerland (2009). He has also been artist in residence at Sophiensaele in Berlin (2005), Camden Arts Centre London (2006) and Robert Wilson's Watermill Center, New York City (2009). He become known for his works in political biography, with a series of performances on the lives of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell (2004–08) and German Chancellor Angela Merkel (2005). These works have a strong multimedia element and are often rewritten in response to prevailing news events regarding their subject. The use of recorded interviews (some recorded covertly) is a key element of these and later performances. His later performance piece Prototypes (2006–09) stylistically referenced the output of documentary films produced by the British Transport Commission. Between 2011 and 2013, two new lecture based performances (The Argument Against the Body and White Balance) were presented. Current projects include a documentary film on the life of late US American performance artist Stuart Sherman, currently which saw its first screening in 2013 as part of the 'Rituals of Rented Island' Exhibition at the Whitney, New York. Parallel to this film have been a series of live re-enactment of Sherman's performances, including his ensemble version of Hamlet (A portrait), shown as part of the Sacred: US Radical season at London's Chelsea Theatre in 2009. He is Assistant Professor in Performance at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. ==Performance== * White Balance: A History of Video (2013) * The Argument Against the Body (2011) * Approximating the Art of Stuart Sherman (2009) * Prototypes (2006/2009) * Dispatches (2005) * Whatever Happened to Colin Powell?
