Jordan Wolfson

Jordan Wolfson (b. 1980) has over the past decade become recognised as one of America’s most ambitious and provocative artists. Employing animation, digital imaging and animatronic sculpture, Wolfson’s recent work has centred on ideas of literal and virtual reality, and the distinction between the real and the imagined —impulses, desire, optimism, violence or guilt — into constructed selves or scenarios surfacing contemporary society.

habitat extends an invitation to Wolfson due to his emancipatory impulses.

In June 2025, Little Room, premiered at the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen / Basel. Wolfson’s  solo exhibition also spans inthe National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Body Sculpture 2023; The Brant Foundation, New York 2022; and Kunsthaus Bregenz. In 2018, the inaugural London presentation of Jordan Wolfson’s Colored sculpture took place in the Tanks at Tate Modern. The work features a sculptural figure of a boy suspended by chains and references the racism of the characters Huck Finn and Howdy Doody, as well as the Mad magazine mascot Alfred E. Neuman.
