Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Maguire’s artistic practice considers power relations through histories and representations of race and sexuality between Britain and South Asia. Employing a process of both theoretical and material assemblage, he relates how the oft overlooked elements within archival ephemera, material culture and cultural production more largely relay synchronous histories that illustrate how machinations of oppression have operated in tandem to foment each other. The subsequent work negotiates the historical absence and representation of sexualities and how they are positioned in relation to exploitative economies, political movements, and historical figures primarily in the form of small-scale mimetic drawings.
