Dennis Svoronos' work exists in a place between art and engineering. Being fascinated with the size and scale of consumer waste in contemporary culture, he seeks to make use of this ever-growing source of materials to explore and critique the culture it comes from.
From obsolete electronics to animated holiday decorations, the material is loaded with meaning, yet so easily discarded. Through careful reinvention, Svoronos creates interactive and animated objects that reflect upon the embedded content in this so-called 'waste,' creating work that is often humorous, but also scathing.
Svoronos is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University (BFA 05 / Diploma 05). He now manages the welding facility at the SMFA, Boston, and teaches in the sculpture department. His work has been exhibited at numerous institutions and galleries such as the MFA, Boston; the Norton Museum of Art, Palm Beach, FL; G.A.S.P Brookline, MA; and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Lake Worth, FL. Currently he is focused on interactive public installations utilizing renewable energy generators crafted from found and salvaged materials.
