Zachari Logan, Self-Portrait, graphite on paper, Private Collection.
Canadian artist Zachari Logan works mainly with large-scale drawing, ceramics, and installation practices. Exploring the intersections between identity, memory, and place, Logan re-wilds his body as an expression of queerness. Logan has exhibited widely throughout North America, Europe, and Asia, and is found in private and public collections worldwide, including the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, Remai Modern, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Leslie-Lohman Museum, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, 21c Museum Hotels, TD Bank, and Thetis Foundation, among others.
Logan has attended many residencies including Vienna’s Museums Quartier MQ21 Program, the International Studio & Curatorial Program in Brooklyn, Wave Hill Botanical Gardens Winter Workspace Program in the Bronx, and was artist in residence at the Tom Thomson Shack at the McMichael Gallery. Logan has worked collaboratively with several celebrated artists including Ross Bleckner and Sophie Calle, and his work has been featured in many publications worldwide including BBC Culture, The Boston Globe, The Globe and Mail, Border Crossings, Huffington Post, Canadian Art, and Hyperallergic, to name a few.
Logan’s recent projects include the two-person exhibition “Shadow of The Sun: Ross Bleckner & Zachari Logan” at Wave Hill Botanical Gardens in the Bronx; “Wildflower,” a solo exhibition at the Canadian High Commission in London UK; and “Ghost Meadows” at Remai Modern in Saskatoon, Canada. Logan’s recent exhibition “Remembrance” opened at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts in the spring of 2022.
