Richard Goulis creates video installation works using found objects as his medium. Most of Goulis’ work incorporates video within the pieces themselves or as projected images on non-traditional surfaces. Goulis finds inspiration in everything around him, “I probably cannot find a place in the known universe, and the unknown, in which I don’t find some inkling of interest that might someday or another translate into a piece of artwork, video or performance…There is nothing new about using discarded or found objects in creating art.” But Goulis specializes in using these found objects to create art that re-purposes an object, creating something “greater than what was put in.”

Goulis is a multi-disciplinary artist with a background in television production. A graduate of the Film/Video Department of RISD, he founded the Worcester Artist Group in Massachusetts and The Harwood Art Center in New Mexico, and he has performed around the world with BIG NAZO Puppets. His documentary and installation video work has been seen at many shows and festivals and is part of the permanent collection of The Museum of Art, RISD.
