Jared Ginsburg uses art-making to explore alternative modes of knowledge production and transfer. He recognizes art as a tool, a means to test and probe the world, hoping to nurture new strategies for productive engagement. Ginsburg employs a range of media types in his practice, including painting, sculpture, drawing, video and performance. Seeking “indeterminacy or chance operations” in his process, Ginsburg’s studio plays a significant role; at once a lab, an instrument and a character in conversation.
Grounded in experimentation and recalling a Povera visual language, Ginsburg’s practice draws out latent possibilities in objects and materials. In pursuit of this, he creates rules, games and exercises that propel him into states of play, catalysing reactions from his materials. Incorporating these strategies, his works often refer to the principles of drawing and line making.
Ginsburg has had nine solo exhibitions to date, most recently All my love at Blue Projects, London; Letters at blank projects in Cape Town and Stills at Galerie Kandlhofer in Vienna.
