Andrew Zealley is a Toronto-based artist whose practice has been situated at the shifting nexus of HIV/AIDS, queer identity, and the body since 1990. Organized around sound and listening practices, Zealley’s creative work extends from audio and music methods to inform mixed disciplines and media — including video, photography, bookmaking, archiving, pedagogy, AIDS activism, and public sex practices.
Zealley holds a Ph.D. through the Faculty of Environment and Urban Change (EUC) at York University; research project: Risky Beeswax: Artistic Responses to the Biopolitics of HIV/AIDS. His dissertation work includes an audio intervention, Soft Subversions, that will be published as a 2LP vinyl edition in spring2021.
