Black Lake is an intermedia duo with Slink Moss and Susan Jennings who have collaborated on 2D and installation art, sound, spoken work and original music since 2008. Black Lake's music and sound art are both recorded and for performances which fuse video, music, poetry, paintings or drawings, sculpture, and shadows to create an immersive other-wordly environments. Their signature style is at once sensual and gritty, quotidian and exquisite. Their soundscapes fuse pattern and exploration, building textures with wild guitar riffs, neo-Beat word-scapes, and the haunt of the human voice. Their 2-D work, with its surprising textures and materials, captures much about their love of a simple, collaborative punk attitude. The drawings and paintings have a certain synesthesia to them, almost a visual note to the songs and sounds the duo create.

Black Lake has produced over 30 multi-media art installations with projected video art, collaborative paintings, hanging sculpture/instruments, live original music and spoken word performances. Black Lake has installed their multimedia art and performed in art venues such as The RISD Art Museum, Providence, RI, Freight+Volume Gallery, NYC, NY, Artist Run at The Satellite Art Fair, Miami, FL, Satellite SXSW, Austin, TX, Turnpark, West Stockbridge MA, The Dorsky Museum at SUNY New Paltz, New Paltz, NY, CR10, Linlithgo, NY, Lesley Heller Workspace, NYC, NY, Incident Report, Hudson, NY, DNA, Provincetown, MA, The Anthony Giordano Gallery at Dowling College, Oakdale, NY, David Nolan Gallery, NYC, NY, X-Initiative, NYC, NY, The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, NYC, NY and The Wooly, NYC, NY (hosted by Invisible-Exports and BOMB Magazine.) Black Lake was the recipient of an 2014 Artist Resource Grant from the Taconic Foundation. Black Lake has also been awarded repeat residency fellowships at the DNA Residency in Provincetown, MA in 2012, 2013, 2017, 2020 and 2021.
