Sergei Tcherepnin

Sergei Tcherepnin (b. 1981) is an American contemporary sound-art/installation artist who builds interactive audio installations and composes multiple-channel pieces that are actualized through sculptural forms, existing simultaneously as speakers and instruments.

Sergei received a BFA from Bard College and MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts in 2011.
