Shirt is a multiform artist based in New York City. Working across writing, rap music, performance, video, photography, painting and sculpture, Shirt’s practice becomes a bricolage of language, sound and object wherein notions of authorship and publics are blurred to create a more expansive readership. Exploring modes of social study and critique through a deep investment in radical imagination and found practices, Shirt’s work often considers ways of unlearning and seeks to propose questions such as: Who gets to be called an artist? and What is considered art? Shirt has presented work nationally and internationally in public spaces and at venues including Dia Chelsea, New York; The Kitchen, New York; Saint Louis Art Museum, St. Louis; Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore; Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany; Royal College of Art, London; Helmhaus Museum, Zurich; Centquatre-Paris, Paris; and Kunsthalle Baselland, Muttenz. Shirt holds an MFA from the Academy of Art and Design in Basel, Switzerland and a GED from the New York State Education Department. He has been an artist-in-residence at Civitella Ranieri and Abrons Art Center.
