Jordan Azcune

Guest Artist

Through solo and collaborative practices, Jordan Azcune explores notions of utopia, the ineffable, and larger ideas of optimism. Raised as a Jehovahs’s Witness and growing up queer, his approach to art making begins with a fluency in biblical theology and uses related visual cues of the 20th century to reconsider histories which map the conflicting intersection of emotion, spirituality, and architecture. These references are translated by using ancient and contemporary techniques to reveal a fragile state of observance and communion with experience.
