Please welcome and say helloooo 👋to Chris Perez chrispperez one of the Centre[3] x Sari-Sari Xchange artists-in-residence!

During their residency, Chris has been experimenting with various media including 3D scanning and painting in relation to public spaces, digital technologies and archives. Their work will be presented at the sarisarixchange symposium this fall at reelasian and exhibited this winter at Centre[3].

“My current exploration of digital mediums is captivated with ideas of accessibility and reflections of cultural identity. Deconstructing and reappropriating simple items and devices, I am interested in finding preservation techniques for everyday information, using both worlds of physical and digital.”

Chris Perez is based in Hamilton and his artwork revolves around the notion of personal and cultural identity. Using expressive mark-making and organic forms, his mixed-media paintings converge contemporary, nostalgic, aesthetic influences, and cultural themes. Throughout Perez’s practice, he involves his artwork with local communities and creates pieces that are influenced by their surroundings. The work that comes forth is an expressive piece that builds from personal experiences and organic suggestions in the active space.
 
The sarisarixchange is an emergent media based collaboration driven by artists, researchers, and cultural leaders from the Asian diasporic community.

SSX is a partnership project between centre3_, tangled_arts, reelasian, mcmasteru and yorkuniversity
