ABOUT THE CURATORS:
Eli Greene (b. New York, NY) is a Chicago and Houston based multimedia artist. Her works are often filtered through photography, saturated with the medium and everything it sticks to — history, memory and loss. Through image, object, and performance, Greene’s practice traces the act of one thing becoming another. Her recent work has been exhibited and performed at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, Chicago, Maximillian William, London, The Smart Museum of Art, Gallery 400, The Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts and Regards, Chicago.

Devin T. Mays (b. Detroit, MI) works with sculpture, installation, performance, and pictures to locate the seen, unseen and understood. His literal use of the temperamental and temporary is an attempt to work with the materiality of everything and nothingness. The materials being used in his practice do not always present themselves as anything more than what they appear to be. There is not always a physical transformation at the hands of his facilitation. He often refers to his interdisciplinary practice as a practice-in-practice, a place for things to become Things. He has exhibited and performed at Martin Janda, Vienna; The Renaissance Society, Chicago; Neubauer Collegium, Chicago; gta exhibitions, Zürich; Sweetwater, Berlin; F, Houston; SculptureCenter, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago among others.
