Carmichael Jones

Carmichael Jones is a Philadelphia based artist who creates installations, sculptures, films, photographs and performative objects to rupture the presumed parameters of encountering and address political concerns of representation. Jones explores social dynamics through light, tension, orientation and scale with an attention to edges, contradictions and relationships between materials. Jones’ work is often playful and slightly irreverent, blending the everyday and the never-seen-before, the meticulous and the reckless, the readymade and the handcrafted. Jones is creative co-director of The Whole Shebang and a former fellow at the Creative Glass Center of America. They hold an MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art.
