sTo Len

June 14 – July 27, 2025
sTo Len is an interdisciplinary artist whose recent work has centered on collaborations with abused landscapes and municipal agencies. The cross-disciplinary nature of Len’s work has included printmaking with polluted waterways, 3D scanning Fresh Kills landfill, recycling waste into art materials, and hosting performances at Superfund sites. He has been the Public Artist in Residence at the Department of Sanitation in NY and the first artist in residence at AlexRenew Wastewater Treatment Facility in Virginia. Len is based in Queens, NY with familial roots in Vietnam and Virginia, and his work incorporates these bonds by connecting issues of their history, environment, traditions and politics.
During his residency at Open Source, artist sTo Len will create a new iteration of his on-going project, Office of In Visibility, and focus on exploring the local Park Slope community. OOIV is an interdisciplinary art project that bears witness to the unseen and often willfully ignored aspects of our modern lives. Len has been using this platform to research and re-contextualize both historical and contemporary issues surrounding waste, water, municipal labor, and urban infrastructure.
