• Ep.286 Zack Mennell - Ministry of Arts Podcast

  In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Zack Mennell (@ZackMennell) Zack Mennell is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into themes of queerness, neurodivergence, and the complexities of visibility. Through performance, photography, and writing, Zack aims to unsettle familiar spaces, making visible the tensions embedded within them. Their artistic practice often involves exploring the uncanny, seeking to understand life beyond the constraints of daily survival . Mennell frequently collaborates with performance artist Martin O’Brien, contributing to significant works such as Sanctuary Ring at the SPILL Festival (2016) and The Last Breath Society at the ICA (2021). Additionally, they have worked with artists like Leon Clowes, Baiba Sprance, and Kane Stonestreet . Their photographic work is strictly analogue, employing 35mm film to document performances and live events. Mennell's practice is informed by their experiences as a queer, working-class, neurodivergent, and disabled individual, aiming to imagine alternative ways of inhabiting the world.
