Jonathan Prichard’s practice incorporates performance art, elaborate costumes, dance, and sculptural elements that, when combined, represent altered psychological states and chaotic situations. Humor plays a major role in his improvised public interventions with his cast of collaborators that aim to disrupt public apathy often found in city streets.
During his residency, Prichard plans to explore and document the area’s urban structures and neighborhoods for truly site specific experiences in and around the Center which will be developed in partnership with volunteers and his core performance art ensemble Sinergismo.
Prichard was born in Chapel Hill, NC. He received a BFA in painting and printmaking and a MFA in sculpture from Winthrop University. There, he is currently Adjunct Professor at Winthrop University since 2011, teaching 3D design, drawing, and performance.
