Chloe Wack is an artist and educator based in Knoxville, TN. Her creative research practice spans printmaking, photography, textiles, and time-based processes. Her work explores themes of friendship, memory, and home. Her recent exhibition “we live here.” investigates her own neighborhood here in Knoxville and our relationship–or lack thereof–to our neighbors through the physical acts of mapping, tracing, sewing.

Collaboration is also a valued part of her research, which she has recently written about for the Feminist German Studies publication in a special issue about creating care in academic systems. Her article “Permission to Care: Sentimentality in Academic Settings—A Conversation between Artists” co-authored with fellow UT alumni Casey Wolhar, discusses the intersections of feminist scholarship, art-making practices, and the importance of friendship and love as tools to create community.

Chloe has taught in both traditional and digital processes and is excited by the intersections between using analog processes and technology in the creative process. This academic year, Chloe will be teaching in the Foundations and Time-Based Arts/Cinema Studies concentrations.
