  • ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY

    ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY

    Born 1965, Eddy Falconer designs and documents worlds and their characters in a variety of idioms. Starting out artistically in New York as a writer of sci-fi and a comics artist with some ephemeral publications and performance actions, Eddy moved to Berlin with a Hi-8 squatter documentary in hand on the cusp of German Reunification and stayed 6-7 years. While shooting epic length Super-8 movies and painting, Eddy invented multiple artistic personae including the character Eduardo Falcone. From 1992-95 there was study in theatrical set design at the then-HdK, in the class of Achim Freyer. In 1997 Eddy began work with George Coates at his theater in San Francisco, as Associate Director, collaborating to bring six productions to completion, including Wittgenstein on Mars; the popular cult staging of Valerie Solanas’ long-lost play, Up Your Ass; and the cable TV series Better Bad News. In 2007 Eddy’s live action video, Ibéria, grew out of a phase of digital retooling and involvement with spoken word and latter-day punk performance worlds. Beginning in 2011, a series of short animated and experimental videos has screened internationally, occasionally at galleries, many winning festival awards. See the RESUME page for a filmography. During the pandemic not only three of these films came into being, but three handprinted zines. This fall, Eddy has served on their first art jury and will exhibit paintings at a cafe in Oakland. Stay tuned in case I update this website.
