John Tronsor is an artist living and working in Pittsburgh who is interested in ideas concerning representational instability, processes of cognition and models of ontology. This is expressed in the phenomenal and conceptual properties immanent to the conjunction of two way mirror and digital video projection as seen in his recent installations at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, the University of Pittsburgh and at the Carrie Furnaces as part of Alloy Pittsburgh. He received an MFA from the University of California, Davis (2013), a PostBaccalaureate certificate in Studio Arts` from Brandeis University (2009) and a BA in Studio Arts from the University of Pittsburgh (2008).
