Jason J Ferguson uses humor, the uncanny, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions, performance works, videos, and sculptural objects. Ferguson’s psychologically charged installations have been said to raise issues of artistic control, consciousness, and mortality. In his work private space becomes public, the ethereal becomes tangible, and the obvious becomes obscure.

Ferguson’s work has been exhibited internationally including exhibitions in Tokyo, Mexico City, Berlin, São Paulo, Rosario, and Tirana; as well as nationally in Brooklyn, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Kansas City, Cincinnati, and Detroit. Notable venues include the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MoCAD), the Delaware Contemporary, the Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia, Brooklyn’s BRIC, and the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago. He was an Artist in Residence at Elsewhere Artist Collaborative in 2007 and Kunst in Kolderveen, the Netherlands in 2008. Ferguson speaks widely about his work through public lectures and events. His artwork has been featured in a variety of publications including SCULPTURE magazine (2022, 2018, 2014, 2008), Hyperallergic, SciArt Magazine, Artifizz, the Chicago Art Review, the 3D Additivist Cookbook, and more. Jason currently resides in Michigan where he is a Full Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.
