Charles Atlas

Charles Atlas has created numerous works for stage, screen, museum, and television, consistently pioneering the synthesis of technology and performance. A key figure in the development of “media-dance”, in which performance is created directly for the camera, Atlas was videographer-in-residence with Merce Cunningham Dance Company for a decade, and continues to collaborate extensively with choreographers, dancers, and performers including Michael Clark, Yvonne Rainer, Diamanda Galas, and Mika Tajima/New Humans, among many others. His work has been exhibited internationally in such institutions as Tate Modern, London; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; the New Museum, New York; Bloomberg SPACE, London; and the Gwangju Biennial.
