Jason Lujan is originally from Marfa, Texas, and lives in Toronto, ON. Lujan is an Assistant Professor at OCAD U, teaching Sculpture and Installation. He has exhibited at the Heard Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Denver Art Museum, New York City Center for Book Arts, Amon-Carter Museum, Art Gallery of Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, Western Front, and Museo Nacional de Culturas Populares in Mexico City, among others.
As an artist he creates things that realize his lived environment, connecting it to larger global experiences to generate new meanings. Largely integrating visual components of commercial and political design rooted in Asia and North America, the work focuses on the possibilities and limitations of the exchanging of ideas, meanings, and values, and questions the concepts of authorship and authenticity.
