About this Event
Jeffu Warmouth is a Massachusetts-based conceptual artist whose work asks the
viewer to unravel their relationships to language, identity, and culture. His artwork
over the past 3 decades has spanned a wide range of media: photography, video,
sculpture, and interactive installations, guided by surrealist and conceptual art
practices and a love for paradox, humor, and play.
Most recently, he’s been incorporating analog video synthesis into performance-
based video sculptures. Jeffu will show work from the past 3 decades and trace the
ideas and influences that have shaped his artistic career.
Artist Statement: The human condition is an endless source of fascination. How can we
search for meaning while negotiating the promises and demands of consumer society?
What can mundane actions tell us about an individual's relationship to the self, to others, or
the Universe? Might awkward pauses, glottal stops, wordplay, or shrieks open new avenues
to the inner recesses of the mind? Is the quickest way to the human soul through the eye,
the brain, or the stomach? Which will redeem us: conceptual art or slapstick comedy?
Jeffu has exhibited his installation & media artwork internationally, including the Boston
Cyberarts Gallery; Boston Sculptors Gallery; Fitchburg Art Museum; Arton the Marquee;
and the 404 Festival of Art & Technology in Argentina, Colombia,Mexico, and New York. He
is a professor at Fitchburg State University, where he chairs the department of
Communications Media.
