Artist

Sasha Wortzel

Sasha Wortzel uses video, photography, installation, sculpture, sound, and printmaking to explore how this country’s past and present are inextricably linked through resonant spaces and their hauntings. Raised in South Florida/Miccosukee and Seminole lands and based in New York City/Lenape lands, Wortzel specifically attends to sites and stories systematically erased or ignored from these regions’ histories. Tangled dynamics of desire and loss layered in the landscape and reverberating across time form a through-line in her work.

Sasha Wortzel has exhibited work at Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College, Portland; Brooklyn Museum, New York; and New Museum, New York, among others.

My America: Tucked behind the metal stud gate is a collection of hundreds of souvenir fridge magnets filling the wall. While many have encountered fridge doors adorned with magnets, the magnitude of this collection borders on the absurd, reflecting the American fixation on souvenirs. These items serve as symbols of both commemoration and commercialization, often tied to sites that have historical significance for indigenous peoples.The question of authenticity has always afflicted souvenirs, especially now that most of the tacky memorabilia from all over the world is mass-produced in China.

Sarah Zapata

Sarah Zapata is a Brooklyn-based artist and writer. Through large-scale handmade textiles, her practice explores themes of tradition, architecture, and queerness, using cloth to adorn the space to direct the body. Invoking an imagined sense of time, her site-specific works reflect her intersecting identities as a queer woman of Peruvian heritage raised in Evangelical South Texas and now based in New York.

Sarah Zapata has exhibited work at ASU Art Museum, Arizona; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Missouri; and Barbican Centre, London, among others.
