HISTORY
Originally from Flint/Detroit, MI
Joseph Jagos Joseph Jagos is an American artist born in Flint, Michigan and has been based in NYC since 2007. He does not have a single style or medium and works with materials that complements the abstract. In today's world of declining regional identity Joseph has been conducting research investigating common and fine art objects present in a world advancing towards global identity. Through creation and acts of hyper consumption, hyper landscapes, and luxury products, this global identity coalesce can be witnessed. His research has led him to 10 different cities in China documenting and writing about how and where the bulk of our disconnected identities are manufactured. This has led him to work on a longterm book and video project titled Horrible Item which has removed him from exhibiting or producing any physical work till as of 2018.
Spring 2019 Joseph has signed on part-time as a professor at Parsons, The New School. He is creating curriculum for technical workshops + lecturing on examining the deeper foundational structure of images and experiential environments used in marketing.
