My work emerges through intensive research, yet often involves intuition. Identifying objects and institutional bodies, while working reflexively, I attempt to understand their individual influence and significance within contemporary culture.
Zach Weber (b.1997, Chicago, Illinois) is currently based in Brooklyn, NY. His work is both self-referencing and an interrogation of how physical environments speak through urban language and universal geometry. Weber’s sculptural and installation work hinges on form and freedom as a pair of communicative forces, and ultimately finds how they denote space as a medium, all its own. Weber carries specified awareness for how shape informs all else. In his practice, what is strict in form is handled freely — observing the apparent rigidity of urban banalities, arriving at an inevitable view of their idiosyncrasies and improvisations. Weber holds a BFA from The Art Institute of Chicago and is pursuing an MFA from Pratt University.
