Description

In many of Ethan Shoshan's performances, he uses out-of-date technology (super-8mm, vhs, older digital cameras) to highlight the frailty of capturing experience and allude to intimations of mortality. Inspired by celluloid as a tangible material between life and representation through light, he sees performance as a doorway to the unconscious. Ethan has also co-developed several programs on art, food, and housing justice with the transient LGBTQ youth. He has exhibited and performed on the streets and at the Kitchen, Aljira, Envoy Enterprises, Commonwealth & Council, Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, Judson Memorial Church, The Center for Book Arts, La Mama La Galleria, Dixon Place, Le Petit Versailles, The Spectrum, Leslie Lohman Museum, and other venues. Previous projects have been reviewed in The New York Times, Art In America, LA Weekly, Huffington Post, The Brooklyn Rail, Artforum, Washington Post, among numerous other publications.
