Steven Spann is a post-consumption mixed media artist working primarily in Las Vegas, NV. His work is deeply rooted in social practice. Many of his past exhibits have focused on audience members bringing him post-consumption material, while other exhibits engage audience members to contribute text or images. One form of engagement determines value in discarded objects, while another form determines value in text. Either way, the audience plays an integral role in the direction of the work.

 

Spann’s work has been exhibited in Las Vegas casinos, international furniture markets, conventions, shopping malls, and traditional galleries. He has exhibited in Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Las Vegas, and LA. His work has been featured on National Public Radio, Dallas Morning News, Blvds Magazine, Las Vegas Review Journal, New York Times, and Las Vegas Weekly. Spann is also an Art Production Fund artist, having participated in the P3 Studio residency at the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino.
