Kenseth Armstead

“Spook” is a multimedia installation project based on the true story of the double agent and slave, James Armistead Lafayette, who gave our insurgent forefathers freedom from the tyranny of the British Empire during the American Revolutionary War. The installation will orchestrate the media and Armstead’ research around James’ activities and story. Kenseth attended the Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program and in 2003 received the Artist in the Marketplace award from the Bronx Museum of the Arts.
