Devin Kenny (born 1987) is an interdisciplinary artist, musician, writer, and curator who works across music, text, sculpture, painting, videos, photography, garments, and performances.

[1] Kenny's work has addressed network technology and the Black Atlantic, gentrification, the prison industrial complex, experimental music, subculture and countercultures, and alternative economies.

He briefly lived with his half-sister who was in the Navy, residing in Silver Spring, Maryland and Jacksonville, North Carolina, and returning to the Hyde Park/Kenwood neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, where he would remain until age 18.

He participated in Trade School organized by Caroline Woolard and an early iteration of the Bruce High Quality Foundation University, originally a sponsored project from Creative Time.

Exploring surveillance, abuses of institutional power, and gentrification, he balances abstract concepts with material traces of once subcultural but now quite ubiquitous forms of expression such as manga, hip-hop, and internet memes.Kenny's work fluctuates between social commentary and dark humor, and has addressed social death, Black erasure in NYC folk history, reparations, ethnomathematics, hip hop and community activism.

[9] Kenny has created music under the alias Devin KKenny, “a play on the fact that an unfamous name often can be misspelled”, Lil Resin, Chainz Problematic, and Wieder Care, among others.
