JAM
ALLISON

Painting, sculpture, performance, installation and collective practice.
Objects become bodies. Bodies become costumes. Images become rooms. Rooms become social systems.

Selected Work

Project index
A practice built of becoming. Transmutation: the changing of one substance, element, or form into another. What changes material into object? Object into image? Image into gender? Gender into performance? Performance into the social space?
Practice

Jam Allison works across modalities, treating the threshold between media as the organizing principle. Painting can become an object; sculpture can behave like a body; clothing can operate as technology; exhibitions can become collective systems.
