MONSIEUR ZOHORE
Monsieur Zohore is an Ivorian-American artist based in New York and Baltimore. His practice is invested in the consumption and digestion of culture through the conflation of domestic quotidian labor with art production. Through performance, sculpture, installation and theater, his practices explore queer histories alongside his Ivorian-American heritage through a multi-faceted lens of humor, economics, art history, and labor. Zohore has had solo and two person exhibitions in 2021 at; Springsteen, Baltimore, MD and Jack Barret Gallery, New York, NY. Group shows include; New Release Gallery, New York, NY; One Trick Pony, Los Angeles, CA and The Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, MD among others.
