The enigmatic and provocative art of Jordan Wolfson

Monday November 08 05.00 GMT

The artist Jordan Wolfson uses technology to create Sophisticated artistic installations that force us to confront the side more dark about humans, the one we don't like to talk about a lot.

Because of this, his creations have been rated as foreign and transgressors. One of his most famous works is Colored Sculpture, which involves a puppet that is electronically controlled through a complex (and very heavy) chain system.

The doll is thrown from one side to the other in 15-minute cycles while the love song When A Man Loves A Woman is heard in the background. The disturbing twist is that, every so often, the music stops to give way to Wolfson launching a series of threats. 

The violent performance puzzles and shocks the viewer. Once the situation is assimilated, the debate on what has just been seen begins as many assure that this specific work shows the illusory nature of the man and exposes his most aggressive aspect.

 

Born in 1980, Wolfson belongs to a generation of artists who came of age with the Internet. Because of this, his way of seeing things is totally different from the rest, because constantly crosses the line between the traditional and the disruptive.

 

Therefore, the proposal of this American artist is constantly evolving and seeks to explore different techniques. What is important to Jordan Wolfson is the message rather than the medium he uses, but this does not prevent him from having fun and exploring in the meantime.

For Wolfson, his job as an artist is to see the world as it is, not to fix it, so addressing issues that are critical is crucial for him and in that, he is definitely an expert.
