People

Devin T. Mays (b. Detroit, MI) is an artist interested in the here and there of things. He uses sculpture, installation, performance and pictures for pleasure. The materials being used in his practice do not always present themselves as anything other than what they appear to be. There is not always a physical transformation at the hands of his facilitation. His rearranging and repositioning, sonically and otherwise, is an attempt to locate the in-between of an everything and nothing. In the spirit of this endlessness, he often refers to his practice as a place for things to become Things.

Mays has exhibited and performed at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Galerie Martin Janda, Vienna; The Power Station, Dallas; The Renaissance Society, Chicago; Neubauer Collegium, Chicago; gta exhibitions, Zürich; Sweetwater, Berlin; F Gallery, Houston; SculptureCenter, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Regards, Chicago among others.

Mays is an Assistant Professor in The Department of Art at Rice University. He currently lives and works between Galveston, TX and Houston, TX.
