Over the past decade, Andros Zins-Browne has been developing a hybrid body of work at the intersection of installation, performance and conceptual dance. In each of his pieces, the American choreographer pays particular attention to the nature of the images, how they are produced and how they circulate, how they enter into movement, in both literal and symbolic terms, and how they are deciphered by onlookers. 

In Already Unmade, a piece based on a process of "unlearning", Zins-Browne joins up with other dancers in order to collectively examine each of their personal choreographic histories and deconstruct, little by little, their kinesthetic memories as performers. Already Unmade takes a reverse look at the conventional presentation format of a choreographic work: here the departure point for the dancers is that of a "finished object" which they dissect and modify over the course of a day through a subtle game of repetition.

Andros Zins-Browne works at the intersection of performance and dance, extending choreographic practice towards non-dancers, vocalists, objects, and text.

His work Already Unmade (2016-), which “de-hearses” previous performances, was presented at the ICA, London; The Whitney Museum, New York; RAM, Shanghai; and Fondation Galeries Lafayette, Paris. Atlas Unlimited (2019), a cycle of collaborative exhibitions and performances, was included in PERFORMA19 and is currently streaming online on Criterion Channel and Triple Canopy. His “Vocal Choreographies” that activate intimacy through dissonance include color, a body who flees (Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, 2022) and The Chaos Opera (Canal Projects, 2024 and Pioneer Works, 2025, both in New York). Performance “Remixes” include The Tony Cokes Remixes (Berlin Biennale, 2018; Dia Art Foundation, New York, 2023) and See-Saw (MoMA, 2019). Zins-Browne is the recipient of awards from the Goethe-Institut, Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, Ministry of Culture of the Flemish Community, and New York State Council on the Arts.
