Life

Osborn was born in 1964 in Helsinki, Finland.[4][5] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wesleyan University in 1987,[6] where he studied with Alvin Lucier,[7] and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Mills College in 1993.[8][9] Osborn lives in Providence, Rhode Island[10] and is an associate professor of art at Brown University.[9][11]

Work

Osborn is known for his installations[12][13] that integrate sculpture and sound.[14][15][16] Osborn has also worked with video as an art form,[17][18] and done sound performances.[19][20] His installation works use objects as diverse as train sets,[21] rubber tubing,[22] wind-up music boxes[23] and fans to create a visual and sound environment.[24] His works for the gallery often have a strong conceptual aspect; in Audio Recordings of Great Works of Art Osborn made recordings of the space surrounding famous works of art, then played back only these sounds in an exhibition.[2][25][26] Osborn was a 2000 Artist-in-Residence at the McColl Center for Art + Innovation.[27]
