He received a BFA from Tufts University and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and an MFA from Hunter College in New York City. Fast lives and works in Berlin, Germany.[9] Fast's work is included in the permanent collections of numerous institutions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Solomon R.

Fast Lives and works in Berlin, Germany.[10] Fast is one of several contemporary artists who restages existing films, including Pierre Huyghe, Robert Melee and Yasumasa Morimura.[11] August (2017)In 2017, Fast was met with protests and allegations of racism by the Chinatown Art Brigade and others, including the Korean American artist and 47 Canal gallery owner Margaret Lee,[12] for his August exhibition in the James Cohan gallery on Manhattan's Lower East Side. The show was titled “August” after its centerpiece, a fine 3D video from 2016 that was inspired by the life of August Sander, a German portrait and documentary photographer. But that video, along with an earlier one, has been upstaged by a surrounding installation that transforms Cohan’s white-box space into a New York Chinatown shop or bus-company waiting room with metal chairs, broken A.T.M.s and a shabby facade. Fast seems to have intended the Cohan gallery “waiting room” not as a replication of any real Chinatown but as the kind of fantasy version of immigrant neighborhoods evoked to justify “slum clearance.” While the work was intended to provoke a strong reaction[13], a group of Chinatown-based activists have called out[14] the piece as racist “poverty porn,” pure and simple, and demanded its removal. [15]Remainder (2015)In 2015 Fast released his first feature film,{{where|date=December 2017}} based on the Tom McCarthy novel Remainder .[16] Continuity (2012)Continuity features an older couple who hires male escorts to play out their dead son’s return from Afghanistan. The 40-minute work explores loss and grief as much as the narrative constructions of fiction and the cinematic conventions used in documentary films.[17]5000 Feet is the Best (2011)Fast is the director of this short film shown on the Biennale di Venezia in 2011. Nostalgia (2009)In October 2009, Fast’s exhibition "Nostalgia" opened at South London Gallery. The exhibition included Nostalgia, a three-part film installation that intermingles a man’s account of his struggle for asylum in Britain with a reenactment of his story as a 1970s science fiction movie in which he attempts to flee a dystopian Europe and relocate to a colony in Africa.[18] Fast's 2009-2010 Nostalgia at the Whitney Museum of American Art was part of the 2008 Bucksbaum Award, given to the most prominent artist in that year's Whitney Biennial.[19] The Casting (2007)In the four-channel video piece Casting,[20] the viewer walks into the screening room initially encountering two hanging projection screens. Each screen contains a different depiction of a narrative showing the characters acting while silent and remaining completely still. The projection screens are double sided and contain two additional images on the rear side where the viewer sees two men engaged in an interview. The two men are a young American Army sergeant and the artist in a dialog about the narrative. The artist states during the interview that he is interested only in memory and how memory gets mediated; he says the work he is trying to achieve has or should have no political slant. Although the work is politically ambiguous it shows the powerlessness of an American Army sergeant in the current Iraqi conflict and possibly the powerlessness of perceived American hegemonic power. CNN Concatenated (2002)In 2002, Fast released CNN Concatenated, an 18-minute-long single-channel video which uses CNN news anchor clips. The video is cut so that each word is spoken by a different newsperson. The pieces literally asks the viewers questions about media authenticity and gives CNN a distinct voice.[21] Spielberg's ListThe 59-minute two-channel work centers on interviews with residents of Krakow, Poland, who worked as extras in the concentration camp scenes in Steven Spielberg's film Schindler's List.[22] The video suggests that, whatever their experience, many of them conflated the Hollywood version of the Holocaust with historical reality.[23] ExhibitionsFast has had solo exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus (2012), Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2010), Berkeley Art Museum (2009), Museum of Modern Art, Vienna (2007), Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh (2005), Midway Contemporary Art, Minneapolis (2005), Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (2004), and the Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt (2003).
