Morris Fox (1984) is a queer new gothic interdisciplinary artist and writer, he is currently an Interdisciplinary Humanities PhD candidate at Concordia U, situated in Tiohtiá:ke-Mooniyang-Montréal. He gratefully acknowledges the Kanien’kehá:ka from Kahnawake and Kanehsatà:ke who continue to care for the unceded land on which he resides. Fox’s interdisciplinary practice tongues and cruises the haunted house for feelings of community. In his practice, words and materials become a net that enmeshes, become a necropolis, a cemetery of desire. His work interconnects self-performance, digital video, VR environments and self-fashioning, eco-poetry and textiles, including chainmaille, with material and queer historiographic research, rubbing against the ruins of memory and the haunted shimmering of an apocalyptic imaginary.
Fox graduated from the Low Residency MFA program at SAIC (2018), and holds a BFA in Studio Arts from Concordia U (2011). He has exhibited in Regarde! Tiotiá:ke (2023), Sex Ecologies: Becoming Plastic Wavelength Gallery, (2023), A Psionic Hope, An Astonishing Dream, Trinity Square Video (2023), My Gay Mediaeval Times, Spacemaker II, Tkaronto (2022), Vestiges and Remains, Artcite Inc., Windsor (2022), Claudia Hart’s Ludicy, Hyphen Hubs (2021), Gothwerk, Hotwheelz Festival (2020), An Archive of Feeling, Randolph VT (2019), Velvet Fields: Visions of the Necropastoral, Marin Gallery (2019).
