Cosentinoworks presents a collection of multimedia works by Daniel Cosentino, a New Jersey-based conceptual artist, multimedia artist, visual artist, educator, and writer. This gallery features installation art, performance-based video, and time-based pieces that explore identity, repetition, labor, memory, and gesture. Drawing upon philosophical frameworks, symbolic actions, and the aesthetics of presence, these works are staged interventions into space and self. Using both analog and digital tools, Cosentino blends photography, sculpture, and video to build immersive environments and reflexive experiences. Signature works such as Standing Box (After Robert Morris) and 12 Hour Portrait explore the tensions between endurance, concealment, authorship, and transformation. Circles and Signature channel obsessive, performative mark-making to investigate the abstraction of identity, while Founders Portraits and in•ter•sect examine communal space and historical memory through collaborative frameworks. These multimedia installations connect with Cosentino’s broader interdisciplinary practice, appearing alongside his sculptural works like Totem Domum and photographic studies in projects such as Hands and Pieces of Me, Pieces of You. An active educator and frequent lecturer, Cosentino contributes to the discourse of contemporary art through public talks and his editorial platforms, Latent Views and Equine Magistrate. His work has been exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally, reflecting a consistent commitment to experimentation, reflection, and symbolic visual language. Cosentinoworks invites you to explore these layered, time-based expressions where performance, technology, and conceptual structure converge.
