Maxx Sizeler

Maxx Sizeler is a multi media artist and fine woodworker who received a MFA from The University of New Orleans in 2001, and a BFA from Parsons School of Design New York in 1988.

Maxx’s installations include: Abracadabra: The Art of Gender Illusion (UNO Gallery, New Orleans); Spork In The Road: Pattern Making for a Gender Hybrid World (Barristers Gallery, New Orleans); Katrina Then and Now: Artist as Witness (Holly Cross College, Worcester); From Start to Finish (Barristers Gallery New Orleans); The Morphing Mobility of Two and Fro (Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans/Leslie-Lohman Foundation, New York/St. Claude Collective: Prospect 1 satellite exhibition, New Orleans); Working Drawings For Gender (Delgado University, New Orleans); Questioning the Pink/blueprint of Gender (University of New Orleans); Picking Up The Pieces (Barristers Gallery New Orleans/Femina Potens, San Francisco); and Gender Remix: Working Drawings II (Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans/Acadiana Center for the Arts, Lafayette).

Maxx’s work is an ongoing exploration of subject matters that are close to his heart: being non-binary and living between the gender binaries, and New Orleans changing history post Katrina. He is presently working on an installation about mass-shootings.

During the 2018 Tricentennial year, curator Susan Tucker sat down with Maxx and other artists who participated in the Panel Discussion to ask some additional questions about their work.
