Open Sessions Artist 2018-20: Cosmo Whyte
.
Cosmo’s work employs drawing, performance, and sculpture to question and critique identity construction in representations of migrant peoples. His process begins with an interrogation of his own body: racialized as black, gendered as a man. Cosmo uses his personal experiences of migration and immigration to question colonialist constructions of masculinity, race, and belonging.
.
Cosmo Whyte lives and works in Atlanta and Montego Bay, Jamaica. In 2015 he was the recipient of the International Sculpture Center’s “Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award”, and this year he is the recipient of the Moca GA (Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia) Working Artist Project.
.
Open Sessions is a two year artist program of interdisciplinary events and exhibitions focused on drawing, organized by Rosario Güiraldes and Lisa Sigal.
