PARSONS FINE ARTS

Constantina Zavitsanos works in sculpture, performance, text, and sound and deals in debt, dependency, and other shared resources. They use the material processes and concepts of superposition, interference, occlusion, and transduction to blur sensing and feeling, knowing and seeing, contiguous and noncontiguous touch. They have exhibited at New Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, The Kitchen, Artists Space, Participant Inc., and Performance Space New York, and at Arika UK, Glasgow; If I Can’t Dance, Amsterdam; and Galerie Max Mayer, Düsseldorf. With Park McArthur, they wrote “Other Forms of Conviviality” in the journal, Women & Performance, (Routledge, 2013) and “The Guild of the Brave Poor Things” in Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility (MIT Press, 2017). They co-organize the cross-disability arts events I Wanna Be With You Everywhere. Zavitsanos is a recipient of the Roy Lichtenstein Award in Visual Arts from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Keith Haring Fellowship in Art and Activism from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, and the Anonymous Was A Woman award. Zavitsanos lives and works in New York.
