ABOUT THE ARTIST AND EXHIBITION:
As a recognized professional Modern dancer, Jean Fogel Zee exhibits a complex understanding of the physical world and a strong sense of spatial acumen. For twelve years, she designed stage sets for her large-scale performances, all of which were supported by grants from the City of Austin, the Texas Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. For 30 years, writing poetry has been a practice and essential medium in Jean’s creative life. Her focus of the last five years has been to develop the craft of poetry; she is presently a poet-in-residence with The Historic Santa Fe Foundation.

Her previous installation WORD, a whirlwind of hand sculpted falling paper and suspended poems, successfully generated a new audience for a non-traditional gallery experience on Canyon Road. Jean works with materials that call to her, following their form, working with weight, gravity and levity of suspension. Her new installation WIRED transforms and invites an engaging conversation between the audience and the art, allowing the viewer to touch, interact and experience the work. The intention of the artist is to include the viewer in the art itself.
