Zan Zeller is an artist, curator, and writer based in Houston, Texas and currently serves as Assistant Director at Koslov Larsen (formerly Foto Relevance), a gallery space exhibiting contemporary art with an emphasis on photography-based work. Zan’s curatorial work centers on exploring intersectional spaces between media and providing platforms for queer and marginalized artists. They have served as a juror for Photolucida’s Critical Mass and other photography awards. In 2025, their essay “Glitchspace” was published in the monograph/multigraph of acclaimed artist Alia Ali, alia ali… one of many. 

Zan’s photo-based work investigates experimental printing media, art historical and religious context, and queer identity as divine expression. In 2023, their work moved into the sculptural realm with an emphasis on chainmail, metalwork, and legacies of crafting. Their most recent body of work, Fool’s Armor, presents the archetype of the medieval fool as modern queer resistance.

Zan received a BA in Art History and Visual & Dramatic Arts with a concentration in Film/Photography from Rice University. They were selected as one of the inaugural recipients of the Joan Hohlt and Roger Wich Emerging Photographer Scholarship at the Houston Center for Photography from 2019-2020.
