Devin T. Mays presents “In Concert #1: Hold, Weight”
@ Hutchinson Courtyard, The University of Chicago
1131 E 57th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Tuesday, April 9th, from 5PM - 7PM
Mays’s interdisciplinary practice is an exercise in wandering he often refers to as a practice-in-practice. Through sculpture and installation, sound, performance, and photography, Mays creates poetic gestures of observation and ritual, often anchored by objects and material fragments. On the occasion of Jessica Stockholder: For Events, Mays contributes a durational performance that considers temperamental objects and their transient materials, including time, labor, and air.
Please note that audience members can come and go anytime throughout the two-hour performance.
Mays has exhibited at gta exhibitions, Zürich; F, Houston; Sculpture Center, Long Island City; Sweetwater, Berlin; Belmacz, London; The Moody Center for the Arts, Houston; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; The Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, Chicago; DePaul Art Museum, Chicago; Regards, Chicago and The Gray Center for Arts & Inquiry among others. Mays currently holds a fellowship with the Center for Engaged Research and Collaborative Learning (CERCL) and the Art Department at Rice University.
