Trevor Martin

Based in Chicago, Trevor Martin is a multi-media artist, educator, and arts administrator.  Since 1996 he has collaborated with fellow artist Kym Olsen as part of the ensemble “Morganville” producing durational events, performative videos and audio works, curated projects, and evening-length performances. Throughout its history, Morganville has engaged other artists in special projects; the 2007 film A Heretic’s Primer results from a collaborative investigation with Chicago filmmaker Daniele Wilmouth.

He currently serves as the Director of Exhibitions at the SAIC.
