Colton James White (they/them) is a fake pop star, 28-year young queer from Dallas, Texas. Their work is primarily durational and interactive performance art that can also thrive within the realms of installation, photography, and video media. Exploring Queerness, Sexual Frustration, Intimacy, and Persona, these themes are shown through a glittery lens of what White believes as “70’s glamour wanting to be grit”.
White earned their BFA in New Media Studio Arts from the University of North Texas. Their work has exhibited at venues such as the MAC, Liliana Bloch Gallery, Arts Fort Worth, and the Experimental Action Performance Art Festival in Houston, among others. White was the recipient of the Artist Microgrant through the Nasher Sculpture Center in 2018, and The Arch and Anne Giles Kimbrough Fund through the Dallas Museum of Art in 2021. Their work has been featured in publications such as Glasstire, The Dallas Observer, and The Dallas Morning News.
