Ariel René Jackson is a multidisciplinary American artist born in 1991 in Monroe, Louisiana––although she notably "came of age in post-Katrina New Orleans". [1] Her approach to making art has been described as having a distinctively Afrofuturist perspective[2], combining science fiction narratives with music and images from black American culture. Her practice of making sculpture, video, and performances has been described elsewhere as "complex social information systems legible"[3]. Writing about her project “Here’s Hoping AKA the Blues (Episode 1)” for the New York Times, Holland Cotter categorized her stop-motion animation as "expertly made violence", going on to say that it "broadcasts ethnic clichés at the same time it shoots them down"[4].

Education

Jackson earned a BFA from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York 2013 and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2018. She also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in 2019.

Exhibitions

Jackson's work has been shown in several museums, non-profit spaces, and commercial galleries throughout the United States, including the Crystal Bridges Museum of Art (2019) [5], the New Museum of Contemporary Art (2019) [6], SculptureCenter (2019) [7]; and the Studio Museum in Harlem (2016) [8].
