As part of the Prairie Webinar Series, CARFAC Alberta, CARFAC Saskatchewan and CARFAC Manitoba are pleased to present:
EXHIBITING INTERNATIONALLY
with Zachari Logan & Jill Ho-You
The Prairie Webinar Series is proud to prioritize the expertise of artists working in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, promoting discussion with our provincial neighbours on various topics while sharing investment in prairie perspectives. The formula is simple: look forward to two 25-minute presentations from two artists speaking to their practice and their experience with a given discussion topic, followed by a 30-minute Q&A period.
ZACHARI LOGAN is a Canadian artist working mainly with large-scale drawing, ceramics and installation practices, evolving a visual language that intersects memory and observation to explore figuration and selfhood. Employing strategies of visual quotation, mined from place and experience Logan rewilds his body as a queer embodiment of nature and a site of excavation. His work underlines a fundamental interconnection of the human as nature through methodologies of exploration that merge observation of landscape and overlapping art-historic motifs, engaging ideas of beauty, mortality and integration.
As an extension of his studio practice, Logan has attended many residencies; including Vienna’s Museums Quartier MQ21 Program, the International Studio & Curatorial Program in Brooklyn, Wave Hill Botanical Gardens Winter Workspace Program in the Bronx and Little Bird Artist Residency in rural Bulgaria. Logan was artist in residence at the Tom Thomson Shack at the McMichael Gallery in 2017, a commission of the Ontario Government to commemorate the centenary of Tom Thomson’s death. In 2021 Logan was the Koerner Artist in Residence at Queens University. Logan was the West Baffin Cooperative’s 2025 Artist in Residence in Kinggait, Nunavut and earlier this year, participated in the Cite Internationale des Arts Residency Program in Paris, France. In June 2026, he was awarded the Inaugural Spazio Berlendis Venice Residency Prize, which with take place during January and February of 2027.
Logan has exhibited throughout North America, Europe and Asia and his work is found in many private and public collections, including; National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, Peabody Essex Museum, Remai Modern, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Leslie-Lohman Museum, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art (NMOCA), 21cMuseums Hotel Collection and Venice’s Thetis Foundation, among others.
