My name is Mišo Suchý, I am originally from Czechoslovakia, a country that no longer exists. For more than 20 years now, I have lived in Syracuse NY. I work with both still and moving images; photography & film often intersect and complement one another in my creative work.
My photographs have been exhibited in The Photographers Gallery in London; George Eastman House in Rochester NY; Washington Project for the Arts, in Washington DC; the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava, Slovakia, among others.
My films have screened at numerous national and international film festivals and were included in a larger retrospective of Slovak documentary cinema at Centre Pompidou in Paris; individual retrospectives of my films were held in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia and I have presented my films in visiting artist presentations at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY; Cornell Cinema, at Cornell University; Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, in Buffalo NY; and the Yale University School of Art, among others.
In support of my creative work, I have received grants, fellowships, and residencies from NYFA, NYSCA, the Boston Film and Video Foundation, CEC Arts Link, Pro-Slovakia, Pro Helvetia, and Lightwork. My photographs and films are in public collections in the Slovak National Gallery, Bratislava in Slovakia, George Eastman House, Rochester NY, and Lightwork in Syracuse NY.
