Curated by Julie Chae
Satterwhite (b. 1986, Columbia, South Carolina, USA) is a fast rising art-world star and a 2008 graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD. Using video, performance, 3-D animation, drawings, and prints to explore memory, insider/outsider art practices, and meta-narratives, Satterwhite's dynamic, interactive performances and video installations transform viewers into participants in the virtual worlds of his videos.
Curated by arts writer and curator Julie Chae, the Hothouse Video: Jacolby Satterwhite exhibition will present a series of print and video works leading up to Satterwhite’s newest video, Reifying Desire 6, which will make its world premiere at the 2014 Whitney Biennial, and will include a special installation of the video Country Ball 1989-2012 with home video footage from his family's 1989 Mother's Day picnic in South Carolina. The exhibition will remain on view 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the hotel lobby from February 8 through March 28, 2014. Admission to the exhibition and performance are free and open to the public. Seating for the performance is extremely limited and admission will be on a space-available basis. No reservations will be accepted for the performance.
Hothouse Video: Jacolby Satterwhite is sponsored by Peggy Cooper Cafritz. Additional support is provided by Dr. Michael Pollack, Sheldon Scott, Animals & Fire, and Jarvis DuBois. Special thanks to Pärnilla and Stefan Lundgren of Mallorca Landings and Julie Chae.
