Jason Burgess

Jason Burgess’ process involves an ongoing investigation of vision using non-representative images coupled with repetition in which the repeating imprint of remembering internalizes an awareness of the memory in the original space.  Each work relates to a specific physical place, which in turn conjures distinctive psychological sentiments. Burgess creates a lightly structured form of practice while opening an improvisational process that embraces the raw sense of feeling as it extends to both photographic space and his own manipulation of remembrance. 

Burgess was co-director of the MMX space in Berlin in 2010-2011. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally including 7th/Alameda, Los Angeles, Space 1026, Philadelphia, PA, Frequency Group, Chengdu, China, Open Art Venue, Berlin, Organhaus, Chongqing, China, n00b galerie, Berlin, and Space One Eleven, Birmingham, AL. Burgess has been involved in multiple publications, including waking up in the summer, a photo journal published by YNYY in Los Angeles, 2013, One Year One Book, a documentation of MMX’s history in Berlin, 2011, and in 2008, Burgess was included in FORM: Artistic Independence, Atlanta, GA.
