Paul Amenta
Paul Amenta is a visual artist working across disciplines including site-specific installation, architectural intervention, film and video, and large-scale collaborative public projects. Amenta has received national attention for his use of vacant urban spaces for temporary public projects and site-specific art installations. Amenta is the founder of SiTE:LAB, where his involvement as an organizer extends well beyond the selection and display of artwork—he has extensive experience designing, adapting and modifying structures as compelling public spaces in which to install and engage artwork.
Amenta holds an MFA in Fine Arts from The School of Visual Arts in New York and a BFA in Sculpture and Printmaking from Grand Valley State University.
“Follow Paul Amenta. Whatever he does next merits our attention.” —Tyler Green, Modern Art Notes
"I think SiTE:LAB is a world-class installation group or whatever they call themselves. You could bring this to Documenta in Germany and it would be respected." —Jerry Saltz, Senior Art Critic, New York magazine
