Devin T. Mays (b. Detroit, MI) works with sculpture, installation, performance, and pictures to locate the seen, unseen and understood. His literal use of the temperamental and temporary is an attempt to work with the materiality of everything and nothingness. The materials being used in his practice do not always present themselves as anything more than what they appear to be. There is not always a physical transformation at the hands of his facilitation. He often refers to his interdisciplinary practice as a practice-in-practice, a place for things to become Things. He has exhibited and performed at Martin Janda, Vienna; The Renaissance Society, Chicago; Neubauer Collegium, Chicago; gta exhibitions, Zürich; Sweetwater, Berlin; F, Houston; SculptureCenter, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago among others. 

Mays holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Howard University and a Master of Fine Arts from The University of Chicago.
