David Horvitz is an American Los Angeles based conceptual artist known for his diverse practice spanning media and subject matter, attuning himself to places, eschewing categorization. His expansive, nomadic body of work traverses the forms of photographs, artist books, performances, the Internet, mail art, sound, rubber stamps, gastronomy, natural environments, and gardening. An ocean romantic, His work examines questions of distance between places, people and time in order to test the possibilities of appropriating, through aesthetic propositions aimed at viewing art as experience to undermine or even erasing these distances.

Using image, text and objects, his works circulate and operate independently of himself, floating ever more effectively the intimate sphere. When encountering his works– in the postal system, libraries, or the airport lost-and-found services– our attention to the infinitesimal, inherent loopholes and alternative logics, and the imaginary comes to the fore. Like lullabies impressed upon our minds, Horvitz deploys art as both objects of contemplation and as viral or systemic tools to affect change on a personal scale. Horvitz makes fictions that insert themselves surreptitiously into the real.
