Jonathan Allen

Jonathan Allen is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, collage, video, and performance. He often collaborates with poets and choreographers and regularly curates art exhibitions at a community center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Allen has exhibited extensively in New York, in both private galleries and non-profit art spaces, and has been awarded residencies at the Bogliasco Foundation, Cill Rialaig, BRIC, Blue Mountain Center, and LMCC. In 2019 he will perform in the US tour of Joanna Kotze’s What will we be like when we get there. In June 2017 he began INTERRUPTIONS, a series of ad interventions in New York City subway stations that seek to interrupt the language of advertising with imagery from our current political predicament. The project is ongoing and currently viewable on Instagram @JonathanAllenStudio. Learn more at www.jonathanallen.org.
