Artist In Residence: Latham Zearfoss
Tiger Strikes Asteroid Chicago is pleased to announce that Latham Zearfoss will be our next artist in residence. This residency will allow Zearfoss the opportunity to execute a new iteration of his ongoing 鈥淪talagmite Creamsicles鈥 project, a seasonally-iterative body of work comprised of ice sculptures dyed with natural dyes that contain seeds for a native garden that will bloom where they are left to melt.
Zearfoss produces time-based images and objects about selfhood and otherness. Often collaborative, these works ask: how do we come to know ourselves as social human subjects? Across media, Zearfoss鈥檚 work is anchored in the belief that identity is a cumulative, political effect, inherited through a kind of collective bargaining. These themes find evocative, sensual resonances through dramatic shifts in color and light, reverberating soundscapes populated by disembodied voices, queer iterations of the not-noticed and everyday, and 鈥渟oft borders鈥濃攕patial markings of undetermined significance that invite participation, transgression, and even penetration. Zearfoss鈥檚 residency is organized by Jaclyn Jacunski.
