Macon Reed: Heart and Teeth
Macon Reed is a New Orleans-based artist working in sculpture, video, painting, and social practice, for projects that bridge participatory approaches with intensive object-making and research. Their work has been shown at venues such as Transmediale Vorspiel (Berlin), La Patinoire Royale (Brussels), the University of New South Wales Gallery (Sydney), Wattis Center for Contemporary Arts (San Francisco), Museum of Art and Design NYC, Chicago Underground Film Festival, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art (New Orleans). Reed studied Physical Theater at Dah International Theatre School (Belgrade), Radio Documentary at Salt Institute for Documentary Studies (Maine), and Socially-Engaged Arts at The Kitchen (NYC). They've attended residencies and fellowship programs at Royal Academy of Arts (London), Eyebeam Center for Art + Technology, Amherst College, Center for Craft (North Carolina), Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.Reed's practice creates spaces for collective imagination: opportunities to envision solutions to shared concerns, inspire collective action, and connect dots between seemingly divergent histories and experiences.
