Jordan Halsall

Jordan Halsall uses art’s ability to represent dissonant ideologies in order to critically address progress and growth. This investigation is shaped by an interest in practices of optimisation, vitality and notions of exit. These areas feed into approaching projects by thinking about the contemporary artist as prosumer - a concept in which the progression of new technologies predicted an increasing crossover between the roles of producer and the consumer. With this in mind - outcomes are made with a confused materiality relating to industrial and homemade production practices that journey through accelerated lifestyles and environments.

Halsall co-directs the gallery Savage Garden and is a past board member of TCB Art inc. Selected solo exhibitions include Terrarium, Neo Gracie, Auckland (2023); Flatways, ReadingRoom, Melbourne (2022); Walkaway, Haydens, Melbourne (2021); Fertilizer, Conners Conners, Melbourne (2020); and Task Executor, MUMA Science Gallery, Melbourne (2020).
