D’Angelo Madsen Minax is an interdisciplinary artist whose projects span documentary and hybrid filmmaking formats, narrative cinema, experimental and essay film, sound and music performance, collective and collaborative practices, and media installation. His projects explore queer and trans embodiment, chosen and biological structures of kinship, cosmic phenomena, and technologically mediated experiences. Drawing on elements of auto-ethnography and psychodynamics, D’Angelo Madsen’s work is fueled by his history of participation in justice-oriented communities.
D’Angelo Madsen received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005. While playing in numerous bands and music projects, he began working with the ground-breaking media arts organization Beyondmedia Education, collaborating with LGBT youth to organize for social justice through the creation and distribution of their stories, as an editor from 2006-2010. During this time D’Angelo Madsen also toured the United States with his bluegrass duet Actor Slash Model, which released three records between 2006-2012 and toured the country many times over. On tour, Actor Slash Model began working on the documentary film Riot Acts: Flaunting Gender Deviance in Music Performance, which featured 21 transgender musicians in the US and Canada and was released to critical acclaim in 2010. After dozens of awards at film festivals throughout the world the film premiered on PBS, FreeSpeech TV, and CBC and is now a staple visual text in musicology and gender studies and is housed in hundreds of library collections throughout the world.
In 2008 D’Angelo Madsen co-founded the Threat Level Queer Shorts bi-monthly screening series that ran from 2008-2010 in Chicago, IL and Brooklyn, NY, and in 2010 formed the musical project, The Homoticons, which released one double-disc of 19 heartbreaking folk songs. He then completed an MFA at Northwestern University, finished the experimental narrative The Year I Broke My Voice, and created numerous essay, installation and short form video projects. From Northwestern he went on to be a Core Fellow at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, from 2012-14 and a resident at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2014. In 2015 D’Angelo Madsen was in residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art and accepted a teaching position at the University of Memphis, where he began work on Kairos Dirt & the Errant Vacuum. Minax released Kairos Dirt in Memphis to a Best Feature Award at the IndieMemphis Film Festival, followed by dozens of microcinema and museum screenings from 2017-2018.
Recently D’Angelo Madsen was invited to the Berlinale DOC Station to develop his new film North By Current, which is now in production and supported by LEF Moving Image Foundation, the Tribeca Film Institute, the Vermont Arts Council, the Sarah Jacobson Film Grant, WaveFarm, and UnionDocs. He received the $30,000 Samuel Edes Prize for Emerging Artists to support the films creation, and was an Edes Prize Fellow from 2017-2018 while simultaneously a Queer|Arts|Mentorship Fellow. Currently D’Angelo Madsen co-curates Anthology Film Archives’ “Cinema of Gender Transgression” quarterly film series. His current solo musical project is called The Great Awakener.
