Zac Monday

Bio

Zac Monday’s practice centers on the possibility of interaction between people and objects. Compelled by the impact of touch, he wants us to be unafraid and unembarrassed to engage one another. In this series of performances, Monday’s cast of characters will don vibrant, ornate, fantastical hand-crocheted costumes to present different scenarios around the gallery spaces. Enacted by performers, these figures call attention to architectural moments, emotional expectations, and the psychogeographic space of the museum. They animate the building with mysterious, playful, and haunting physical forms that dawdle, crawl, and linger, encouraging us to be unselfconscious, curious, and brave in our experience of them, as well as ask us to consider our role within an art space. Performances take place without set times, bringing an element of spontaneity and the unexpected to museumgoers’ experiences.
