Shay Arick (b. 1979) is a cross-disciplinary Israeli artist based in New York. His practice combines photography, sculpture, installation, performance, and video in order to explore issues of violence, social taboos, political conflicts and human behaviors. In this process, Shay deconstructs iconic cultural imagery as a form of critique and analysis. Arick subverts performance of masculinity and fetishization of machismo with a film placed inside a cowboy hat placed into a wall. This token of American male figure serves as a nook for an intimate viewing of the movie image. Curated by Osman Can Yerebakan for Residency Unlimited
