Lane Timothy Speidel is a Philadelphia-based artist, curator, and writer. They play with writing, sculpture, fiber, music, drawing, and painting to try to place themselves in the world. These different methods patchwork in freaky, funny, and sad installations, with seams visible. They are a Jewish transexual disabled fag. They can’t sleep or are sleeping too much. They create sculpture, painting, and clothing from trash by necessity and interest. Their writing practice began as love songs to friends, and now it's poetry, music, plays, and sci-fi. Lane graduated from Tyler School of Art in 2013 and has been an artist member of Vox Populi Gallery since 2017. They have exhibited at Vox Populi Gallery, the National Liberty Museum, Tiger Strikes Asteroid Gallery, Space 1026, Transformation Gallery, Unrequited Leisure, Flux Factory, and Changes Gallery. Lane has been an artist in residence at Flux Factory and TPAIR. They have published many zines and now a book ALL EXITS under body joke press, and their writing has also been in Ginger Zine, Stone Fruit, Art Blog, Gay Wicked Ways, and Title Magazine. They know that our job is to upend all systems that do not make possible joy, family, community, sex, and celebration. They use their artwork to look out of the keyhole of our capitalist reality, in their spare time they are also looking for the key.
