BIO
Zach Hill is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and curator working between sculpture, moving image, and performance. He has been awarded the Mary L. Nohl Fellowship and Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship along with residencies at Vermont Studio Center, Bunker Projects, RAIR, and Elsewhere Museum. His work has been exhibited and screened at Haggerty Museum of Art, Milwaukee, WI; Frontera Garibaldi, Mexico City; High Tide and Peep Projects, Philadelphia, PA; Skylab Gallery, Columbus, Ohio; Studio 10, Brooklyn, NY; Comfort Station, Chicago, IL; James Black, Vancouver; and VisArts, Rockville, MD. Hill holds a BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania and is currently Visiting Assistant Professor of Sculpture at Haverford College.
STATEMENT
My sculptures bounce between found and fabricated materials to create human-scale multimedia works of assemblage. This process of assemblage centers misuse and mimesis to reconfigure furniture parts, tripods, cords, and found metal while cast or sculpted appendages and video screens are added in reaction to these modular structures. In these arrangements I combine materials that should never touch but steal a kiss when no one is looking. Formally I reference city infrastructure, the human figure, animality, and science fiction. The typical logic of these forms is skewed and resisted to create works that actively misbehave. Within this intentional misbehavior, these sculptures play with assumptions regarding their material identity and original or imagined utility. Through this queer transmutation, my work presents active devices that perform visible and audible signaling, protective surveillance, and anthropomorphic objecthood.
