Isaac Brest AMERICAN, b. 1987

Isaac Brest, who received his professional training in film, is best known for works in photography and installation. He is involved in The Still House Group artist organization, which he founded with Alex Perweiler in 2007 in order to foster “creative sustainability” for future generations of artists seeking non-traditional career progressions. Brest’s own conceptually based works present wry commentary on contemporary art practice by incorporating elements of architecture and film; he also works frequently with industrial materials like sheet rock, sanding tools, Plexiglas, and plywood.
