From Zeke’s Projects:
“Zeke’s Projects is pleased to announce i will kill your daddy – an exhibition of photos and lens-based work by New York City-based artist Chloe Scout Nix. The exhibition will be on view March 15 through April 26, 2025. An opening reception will be held Saturday, March 15th from 5 – 7 PM. The gallery is open most Saturdays, from 12– 5 PM and by appointment.
Chloe Scout Nix currently lives in Brooklyn, NY, having recently graduated with an MFA in photography from Pratt Institute. She earned a BFA in visual arts with a minor in Art History from Southern Methodist University. Originally from Waxahachie, TX, she is an award-winning artist and performer. The conceptual work of Nix focuses on the body as material. Through the application of varied techniques to magnify and obscure nuanced features within each image, her process explores modes of performing for the camera. Nix last showed in Dallas in 2022. This exhibition will feature all new work from the last year. Artist statement: “My photographic practice is focused on prolonged moments of performative intimacy between myself and others. I am deeply interested in how we learn gestures of intimacy through the imagery we take in throughout our lives, along with the touch we receive from others. In examining myself and identifying where my personal desires were formed I explore these gestures with my friends, family, and strangers to create scenes that mimic and obscure their forms to highlight some of the more constructed elements. I photograph primarily in my subjects’ homes, using the domestic space to harbor feelings of familiarity or comfort while I essentially intrude their space for our performance. i will kill your daddy is a series of images that were made during this past year when my personal longings for closeness was at its most persistent. Ushering those feelings towards the consumption of film, fiction, and other artists, I became obsessed with creating images that represented this time by abstracting certain aspects of it into an uncanny new world where these emotions have a place to rest or shift. The people pictured include friends, strangers, ex lovers, acquaintances and a bartender.” Zeke’s Projects is a new contemporary art gallery in Dallas. The goal is to bring new, exciting work to Dallas at a relatively low stakes but deadly serious commercial gallery. We also generally will have hot dogs instead of wine at openings because I like the somewhat silly vibe that handheld food brings to a gallery opening, and my insurance does not cover distributing alcohol. I hope Zeke’s Projects can endure and become a successful enterprise for both me and the artists we show and contribute to the North Texas arts community. Meanwhile, we are going to have a blast. I welcome you to join us. Zeke’s Projects is open most Saturdays, from 12– 5 PM and by appointment. Please consult @zekesprojects on instagram, and/or contact me at [email protected] or (214) 307-2129 to confirm opening hours or request an appointment.”
