zack mennell
zack mennell (b. 1994, Hornchurch UK) is a self-taught emerging artist using writing, photography and performance to explore queerness and neurodiversity in relation to presence and visibility. zack frequently collaborates with performance artist Martin O’Brien performing throughout the UK and in Europe. zack has intermittently worked in documenting performance and live events through photography for several years. Their photographic practice is strictly analogue.“Artistic expression is, for me, a way to make sense of the world and an attempt to contextualise who I am within it. In stepping into difficulty and pain through artmaking, I attempt to understand life through a different register to that of daily survival. I want my work to have an uncanny quality, that it might temporarily unsettle familiar places, making visible some of the strange aspects and tensions embedded there.”
zack is a studio holder at Triangle LGBTQ+ Cultural Centre, and a member of the Metal New Artist Network and the Working Class Creatives Database. They are a member of the TOMA (The Other MA) 2024/25 cohort, an alternative MFA based in Southend-on-Sea.
