J - Morrison - Designer/Screen Printer/Performer (USA)


Fans of Xiu Xiu may recognize the work of J-Morrison - he created covers for the Vinyl releases of the band's albums "Fabulous Muscles" and "La Foret" - but the self -described artist/designer and screen printer hopes he'll get even more attention for his live collaborations with artists and musicians in his "performative art". Morrison who's work has been exhibited at New York's P.S 1 and John Connelly Presents galleries, has become a downtown darling for the screen prints he creates on canvases, bags, T- Shirts, for audiences at Manhattan's Exit Art Gallery, Brooklyn's Powerhouse Arena and the New York Book Fair. "I am interested in bridging the gap between commercial art market and consumer culture," he says, "specifically through using screen printing as a vehicle to transport the work into other sectors of life".
