About
Jack is based at Paradise Works, Salford. He works with (and in the spaces between) sculpture, painting, response to site, print, public action, drawing, photography and video. New works begin with the overlooked, things from our collective reference pool. These starting points are altered, remade or relocated before being cast back into the world as artworks. Meaning emerges in this ‘remaking’, in the collision of source, extraction processes, material, making processes, media, situation, site and public interaction.
Interventions in the wider world, collaborations and manipulations, moments of poetry and flashes of meaning; Brown’s practice can be seen as an investigation into ways of making and how those made objects or moments interact with the world around them.
Recent exhibitions include Bushcrafting (Second Act Gallery/Prism Gallery, Blackburn), A Borrowing of Bones (Slug Town/Paradise Works, Salford), Knip (Pink Gallery/Juxtapose Art Fair, Denmark), Gertrude Presents (Gertrude, London), Psychogeology (Signal Film and Media, Barrow-in-Furness), A Modest Show (The Hamptons Air Fair, New York, USA), and Soaps (Suihkulähde Galerie, Helsinki).
His work is held in collections including the Salford University Art Collection, Soho House, Manchester Art Gallery, and various private collections.
