Bio
Dino Dinco was raised by a family of fighting chickens in rural Pennsylvania before moving to Los Angeles as a kid. He is a performance art curator, multi-practice artist and director of film and live theater. He is currently at work on a book focusing on contemporary West Coast performance art practice, thinking and scholarship in major art centers from Vancouver to Tijuana.

Dinco’s work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions in Paris (2005, 2001), Los Angeles (2001), and San Francisco (2009, 2004), as well as in group shows in London, Mexicali, Paris, Santiago de Compostela, Los Angeles, Antwerp, Hasselt (Belgium), New York and Hamburg, where it appeared in the touring exhibition “Archeology of Elegance: Twenty Years of Fashion Photography.” Selections from his series “Chico” were featured at Salon Paris Photo at The Louvre, Paris (2001 - 2002). Dinco’s exhibition TODOS SOMOS PUTOS (with Julio Torres) was reviewed by Chris Kraus in the December 2010 edition of Artforum.

His images have appeared in publications such as surface (US), i-D (UK), Dutch (France), Revista Espacio (Mexico), V (US), SPEX (Germany), Vogue Brasil (Brazil), Tokion (Japan), BIG (US), Studio Voice (Japan), Zoo (France), BUTT (Holland), and stimuli (Malaysia) as well as in the photography anthologies: Sample (Phaidon, 2005), Archeology of Elegance (Schirmer / Mosel, 2002), and Cross (Calloway, 2000). Dinco was featured in surface magazine’s first annual “Avant Guardians” portfolio and traveling exhibition.

In 2010, Dinco curated GUTTED, a five-hour performance art exhibition at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions that focused on how artists speak from / of / to the body and inspired by Jean-Luc Nancy's Corpus. GUTTED featured 71 artists and performers with durational and short-form actions and readings from artists including: Julie Tolentino & Pigpen / Stosh Fila, Dorian Wood, Mariel Carranza, Sheree Rose, Benjamin Weissman, Ryan Heffington, Dawn Kasper and Heather Cassils.

Dinco returned to curate GUTTED 2011 at LACE, which saw the return of several artists from GUTTED 2010 (Dorian Wood, Julie Tolentino & Pigpen / Stosh Fila, Monica Duncan, Mariel Carranza, et al.), as well as award-winning San Francisco-based artist / mentor, Keith Hennessey, Cara Elizabeth and others,

For the year 2011 - 2012, Dinco was the Performance Art Curator in Residence at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions / LACE.

Through a grant from London’s St. Martins College of Art and Design, Dinco was commissioned by the Fashion in Film Festival 2008 to make the award-winning short film, “El Abuelo,” which premiered at the Tate Modern in London, May 2008, and has since screened at film festivals worldwide. In 2011, he finished production on “Homeboy,” a feature length documentary film about gay Latino men who were in gangs, which made its US premier at OUTFEST 2012 and European premier in Antwerp.

Dinco wrote and directed the experimental theater piece, “Real Women Have Periods,” performed as part of Studio: Summer 2010 at REDCAT, Los Angeles.

In 2006, Dinco founded and co-curated YOU WEAR IT WELL, the first traveling international program of films and videos on fashion, style and beauty. Dinco has also worked in television commercial and music video production for over a decade.

Dinco serves on the Outreach and Programming Advisory Board of the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives, the largest LGBT archive in the U.S. He is also a volunteer English language tutor in the Singleton Adult Literacy Center of the Los Angeles Public Library.
