Biography: Tim Davis is an artist, essayist, and songwriter based in Tivoli, NY. He has published many books of photographs, including Lots (Coromandel Design, 2002), Permanent Collection (Nazraeli Press, 2005), My Life in Politics (Aperture, 2006), and I’m Looking Through You (Aperture, 2021). The New Antiquity, the result of his year in Rome as the winner of a Rome Prize fellowship, was published by Damiani Editore in 2009. Many publications have come from commissioned projects, such as Il Tecnogiro dell’Ornitorinco (Linea di Confine, 2010), and Quinto Quarto (Punctum Press, 2011), which grew from an exhibition at the MACRO Museum in Rome. Davis had a large retrospective of nonphotography projects at the Tang Museum at Skidmore College in 2019 called When We Are Dancing (I Get Ideas), which also resulted in a catalogue. Recently, the Fondazione di Sardegna commissioned him to make a work in Sardinia, which resulted in a book and show called Hallucinations. Normaltown, a project involving a book and recorded music made in the state of Georgia, is forthcoming from Fall Line Press in 2024. 

His work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Guggenheim Museum, High Museum of Art, Hirshhorn Museum, Milwaukee Museum, and Walker Art Center, among many others. His website is ohthattimdavis.com.
