Bozidar Brazda's family emigrated to Canada from Eastern Europe in 1968. His father is the musician Andrew Brazda with the psychedelic band The Brazda Brothers. His grandfather was the award-winning Slavic writer and journalist Andrej (Brazda) Jankovsky. The artist lives in New York City.
Brazda's installations consist of text, audio, and sculpture, and are often rooted in what the artist has described as "semi-autobiographical narratives."[1] His work for the 2008 Whitney Biennial included a collaboration with various artists including Terence Koh and Ian Mackaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat). He has curated sound-based exhibitions that have included works by Rich Aldrich and Anthony Burdin, and in 2010 recorded a 45" record with artist Aïda Ruilova that featured a cover photograph by Raymond Pettibon.
