Paul B Davis

An artist, musician, DJ and producer, Davis approaches his subject with a cleverly mischievous take, reordering the digital detritus of contemporary life and twists it into his art. As founder of Beige Records and the BEIGE Programming Ensemble, in the late 90s Paul pioneered the use of hacked Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges as an artistic medium and created BEIGE's first Nintendo artworks. His Nintendo work was premiered in 2000 and BEIGE members subsequently used hacked
N.E.S. systems to create a distinct body of work that has been shown internationally. Both solo and collaborative works have been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Modern Art, Whitechapel Gallery, Witte de With [Rotterdam], TEAM [NY], and Lothringer 13 [Munich]. Paul created The BEIGE World Cassette Jockey Championships, and performing,as"DJ Spin-Laden" is the only DJ to ever get thrown off stage at the Technics/DMC World DJ Championships. Recent projects include solo exhibitions at Seventeen [London] and Bruna Soletti [Milan], performing music and wizardry in a duo with DJ LeDeuce [Thrill Jockey] known as The Potions, co-founding Chicago performance venue Camp Gay, and producing beats for some of the biggest names in the London "grime" music scene.
