Back in the 1990s, Providence was home to a thriving community of artists. One of the things that made it possible was the ample affordable live/work spaces artists found in the old mill buildings of the city’s industrial past. With many of those buildings gone and little affordable housing to spa...

Erma Fiend is a director of surreal stop motion animation. Fiend is known for documenting his gender transition over the years in hundreds of Escheresque stop motion self portrait loops, which play like Möbius strips in GIF form.

Zhidong Zhang is an artist, educator, and plant lover. Their practice explores social, political, cultural, and sexual relationships among the institution, the body, and modes of embodiment. Working primarily with photography, text, and installation, their work negotiates and creates narratives where image-making becomes a form of history-making. Zhang’s practice and process invite alternative, autonomous modes of identity construction through/by/via metabolizing bodies that are often overlooked, eroticized, or politicized. Their Headmaster No.10 project is about artificial turf.

Laurent Pellissier is an artist born in Aosta, Italy, living and working in Berlin. Populated by q***r and supernatural creatures, his paintings and sculptures evoke the night, the city, desire, and the forest. Experimenting with variance and seriality, he often uses techniques and materials discovered in the naïveté of his childhood: papier-mâché, modeling clay, linocuts, or pencil drawings. His works make unruly references to German Expressionism and Japanese cartoons – swinging from humor to horror, melancholy to sensuality, kawaii to the grotesque.

Apolo Gomez was born in Austin, TX, and is a q***r Chicanx visual artist based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. After a bout with lymphoma, he picked up his first camera and started documenting his friends and lovers. Through photography, painting, and installation, his interdisciplinary practice explores the complex multiplicity of personhood, q***rness, desire, and his latinx identity.

Deb Sokolow is an artist whose semi-fictitious drawings speculate both comically and critically on a number of subjects including architecture, social engineering, world leaders and intelligence organizations. Her work has been included in the 4th Athens Biennale, the 5th Chicago Architecture Biennial and in exhibitions at Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Van Abbemuseum, Drawing Center, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. Sokolow’s drawings have appeared in BOMB Magazine, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s Best American Comics and Phaidon’s Vitamin D2. Sokolow is based in Chicago.

For Headmaster No.10, Sokolow looked at the life of wrestler Pat Patterson.

Matthew Papa is a New York-based artist working primarily in photography. He has an MFA in Advanced Photographic Studies from ICP/Bard College and a BA in Philosophy from University of Michigan. His undergraduate study of philosophy informs his artistic practice and he’s interested in photography’s ability to complicate meaning. Desire and the body are often subjects in his work because our ideas around them are rife with conflict.
