David Politzer makes videos and sculptures that examine insecurity and masculinity in the context of our contemporary social landscape. He uses an intimate and straightforward approach along with humor to discuss such topics as relationships, body image, pornography, and self-confidence. His most recent video project, Rio Macho, looks at the issues of masculinity and myths surrounding cowboy culture.

Politzer holds an MFA from Syracuse University and a BS from Skidmore College. Recent group exhibitions include Host at the Soap Factory in Minneapolis, Here and Elsewhere at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, and Does Gender Still Matter? at Purdue University. This spring, Politzer will have a solo show at Real Art Ways in Hartford, CT as part of their GO! exhibition for emerging artists. Politzer has been in residence at Yaddo, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the Vermont Studio Center, and the Kala Institute.
