I am a trans masculine interdisciplinary artist who uses my body as a performative tool. I wield my positionality as a trans person to challenge an audience's perception of my gender. I study the juxtaposition of decay and new life to demonstrate the age of the anthropocene. My themes often come before the materials I use, and I regularly collaborate with artists of differen disciplines to explore new mediums. My skills are in video, new media, photo, performance, sound, and I come from a dance background.


Andy Giovale is an trans masc interdisciplinary artist. He is a recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he studied performance and art and technology. In the past, Andy worked as a circus performer, performing and choreographing aerial acts with his twin sister in a local circus (Circus Bacchus) until 2018. Andy now works in performance and finding ways to support art from behind the scenes. He performs for events such as Home, a drive by performance piece in Flagstaff, Arizona hosted by a local performance collective, The Interference Series.When not performing, Andy experiments with art and technology, video, and projection and hopes to incorporate these mediums into his work.

A Night of Perfumance
In collaboration with SAIC’s Olfactory Art Class, participants in SAIC Modern Dance Club choreographed and performed an improv based, 45 minute performance with scented fans made by the SAIC Olfactory Art Class. Organized by myself and co leade Emma Garthewaite, we constructed this performance and event in heavy collaboration with the dancers.
