Jacolby Satterwhite was born in Columbia, South Carolina. His expansive art practice combines video, performance, dance, 3-D Animation and drawing to weave narratives that address family and memory, body and desire. The worlds he creates on screen are sometimes exuberant, sometimes unsettling, and always dazzling.
Satterwhite was represented in the 2014 Whitney Biennial, and at the Studio Museum’s recent exhibitions, When Stars Begin to Fall and Radical Presence. He has had recent solo exhibitions at Capitol Skyline Hotel in Washington, DC, OhWOW Gallery in LA, and Recess Activities and Monya Rowe Gallery in New York. Jacolby has attended residencies at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Workspace, Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, the Headlands Center for the Arts in California, the Center for Photography in Woodstock. He has received numerous awards and honors including the Louis Comfort Tiffany Grant, the Art Matters Grant, and a Queer Arts Mentorship Fellowship. Jacolby Satterwhite lives and works in New York City.
