Nathan Carter lives and works on sculptures, drawings, photographs, jewelry, costumes, music, hats, capes, painted shades, dinners and dancing in his Brooklyn New York based studio.
He recently created, wrote, directed and composed music for his first short film called The DRAMASTICS Are Loud. Using hand made paper and wire figures set in dioramas Carter tell the story of the band as they write and record songs and go on crazy adventures touring the world in a precarious flying machine and playing their music at live rock concerts before breaking up in Paris France.
Immediately following the screenings of the film a real life band of musicians known as the DRAMASTICS REVUE has been performing the music from the film live. The film debuted at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver in 2016 and will be show again at the Casey Kaplan Gallery in New York City on June 23rd in an exhibition called The DRAMASTICS and the Fascinators.
Other collaborative projects include performing live music and dance with the artists Matthew Ronay and Tony Cox in LOBOTOMAXXX and with the painter Patricia Treib creating skirts and dresses under the name Volly Voila. Nathan Carter is represented by Casey Kaplan in New York City and by Esther Schipper in Berlin.
