VICK QUEZADA 4.24 - 5.16

Vick Quezada (they/them) is an interdisciplinary artist, explores hybrid forms in Indigenous-Latinx history and the function of these histories in contested lands, primarily in the U.S.-Mexico Border. They work with a variety of mediums: video performance, sculpture and ceramics. They incorporate found objects (man-made) and natural elements, like dirt, soil, flora, corn and combine them with found objects like bricks, reclaimed trash, chains, cans, and barbed wire.

Quezada’s work explores liberation through an approach that is rooted in queer and Indigenous knowledge, histories, and aesthetics. They draw on an Aztec-Nahuan religious doctrine that affirms a “two spirit” tradition in order to make the Latinx and Indiginous transgender body visible through history, trauma, and pleasure. Quezada categorically is a Rascuache Chicanx artist, one who repurposes and stylize found objects. Rascuache engineering is not just a skill, it is a lifestyle and a practice of liberation. It is a creative strategy for insurgent survival in the post-apocalyptic settler colonial world. In queering the archaeological, Quezada desire to offer an understanding of gender and sexuality outside of the dominant narratives and create an alternate world of erotic power and joy.

New England based interdisciplinary artist, Vick Quezada's work has been exhibited across the Northeast and featured in BOMB Magazine, Trans Studies Quarterly, and Remezcla. In 2020, Quezada received a grant from NYFA, and was selected from a group of over 42,000 applicants to receive the Artist Relief Grant led by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. In 2021, they were selected amongst a group of 40 artists in a large-scale survey of Latinx contemporary artists from across the United States and Puerto Rico to participate in el Museo del Barrio's first ever Triennial. Most recently, I was selected for the Leslie Lohman Museum's Artist Fellowship.

In 2020, Quezada completed an artist-in-residence at the Latinx Project NYU, other residency include the Vermont Studio Center.
