Artist Talk: Zachary Ayotte and Ted Kerr

Join artists Zachary Ayotte and Ted Kerr at Latitude 53 for a conversation about the disappearance of queer spaces in Edmonton. Drawing on Ayotte’s current exhibition, BAMF, the conversation will touch on the queer history, transformation and the body.

Thursday, April 18th, 2019, 6 p.m. – 7 p.m.

Latitude 53, 10242 – 106 Street NW, Edmonton
Latitude 53 is an accessible space

Zachary Ayotte’s work is interested in bodies and their ability to contain complex and conflicting histories, both personal and social. Through photographic processes, he explores how we engage across space. Grounded in the body’s relationship to uncertainty, his work reveals a pervading tension between the mutable aspects of individuals and their environment. He has had solo exhibitions at Latitude 53 and SNAP-Society of Northern Alberta Print Artists in Edmonton, AB, as well as a duo exhibition with Nulle Part at the Art Gallery of Alberta.

Theodore Kerr is a Brooklyn-based writer, organizer and artist whose work focuses on HIV/AIDS, community and culture. As a writer, his work has appeared in the Village Voice, Poz Magazine, The Body, Lambda Literary, 18 Stories and other publications. This summer Kerr’s poster series WHEN IT STARTS will be on view as part of CounterPublics a festival of public art in St. Louis. Currently Kerr is teacher at The New School’s Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts in New York City. He is a founding member of What Would an HIV Doula Do?, the collective’s exhibition METANOIA: AIDS Transformation through AIDS Archives and Activism is on view at the NYC LGBT Center until the end of April.
