He was an artist-in-residence at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa and is a recipient of the Otis and Velma Davis Dozier Grant from the Dallas Museum of Art.

Jeff Zilm’s 2016 exhibition at Dallas Contemporary presented a striking investigation into the intersections of film, memory, and abstraction. Known for his innovative use of film emulsion as painting material, Zilm projected the physical residue of cinema onto canvas, creating ghostly, monochromatic surfaces that seemed to hover between presence and erasure. The show marked a turning point in the artist’s long-evolving career, bringing national attention to his conceptually rigorous and materially unconventional practice. Both haunting and cerebral, the works explored how obsolete technologies continue to shape contemporary modes of seeing and remembering.
