I have been invited by Bogomir Doringer to develop a new work for his upcoming curatorial project with the MuseumsQuartier. During my time in residence, I will work on a large-scale drawing that will be exhibited in this group show later in 2013. The drawing I will create while in residence, surrounding Bogomir's theme "Faceless", will continue my current series of self-portraits, in which I obscure or hide my face/body within expansive landscape compositions; discussing of identity, domesticity, memory & anonymity.
"Maybe you should turn it on yourself"
We met Canadian artist Zachari Logan in his studio and talked about his self-portraits, male identity, and the upcoming exhibition "Faceless" at freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL.
