From the Car Wash:
“The work of Devin T. Mays directs our attention to presence. He investigates site, as both a physical space for intervention where bodies coalesce and simultaneously as a conceptual gradient of social gesture(s). He conjures memory and possibility through the fragmentation and repetition of readymade objet trouvés, sound, text, and lens based media. This is his first exhibition with The Car Wash.
Devin T. Mays (b. Detroit, MI) uses sculpture, installation, per- formance and pictures to offer observation of what’s seen and unseen. The materials being used in his practice do not always present themselves as anything more than what they appear to be. There is not always a physical transformation at the hands of his facilitation. He often refers to his interdisciplinary practice as an exercise in wandering, a practice-in-practice, a place for things to become Things. Mays has exhibited at Sculpture Center, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; The Moody Center for the Arts; The Driehaus Museum, Chicago; Museum of Con- temporary Photography, Chicago; Belmacz, London; The Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts; DePaul Art Museum, and The Gray Center for Arts & Inquiry among others. Mays holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Howard University and a Master of Fine Arts from The University of Chicago. Mays cur- rently lives and works between Houston and Galveston, TX.”
