Jesse Meredith is a multi-disciplinary artist using photography, sculpture, and language to trace relationships between identity, power and ideology. He works to interrogate western patriarchal systems that isolate and separate us, to empower viewers to address their own biases and (dis) comforts. Immersing himself in different cultural enclaves, he absorbs and synthesizes these experiences to pose questions about things like belonging, security, and tradition. His current projects investigate the paranoid psychology of suburban spaces, and the ideological ground of the American militia movement.
Jesse’s work has been exhibited in Chicago, New York, Peoria, Philadelphia, Ohio, Wisconsin, Limassol (Cyprus), and Buenos Aires (Argentina), among other virtual and physical spaces. He has been an artist in residence at ACRE (Steuben WI) and La Ira De Dios (Buenos Aires AR). He earned an MFA in photography from SAIC, where he was awarded the 2018 Weinstein Memorial Fellowship. He is currently an artist in residence at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art.
