JORDAN EAGLES

    CV

<sup>Jordan Eagles (b. 1977) is an artist who has been exploring the aesthetics and ethics of blood as an artistic medium since the late 1990s. Eagles’ work reflects upon the fundamental elements and opposing forces of creation itself, from the incomprehensible magnitude of cosmic events, to the most intimate inner space of our physical and spiritual selves. His sculptures, objects and installations speak to the very heart of human experience—our place within all that exists. These themes are manifest in his materials—blood, copper, gauze, and resin. Chief among them is the life-sustaining vitality of blood, and its role in the cycles of the body, both its vulnerabilities and resilience—from fallibility and brokenness to renewal and healing.

Eagles’ works are held in numerous private and public collections including the Addison Gallery of American Art, Everson Museum of Art, Peabody Essex Museum, Princeton University Art Museum, The Rose Art Museum, University of Michigan Museum of Art and Wellcome Collection. Recent exhibitions, installations and public programs include the Getty (Los Angeles), High Museum of Art (Atlanta, GA), The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh, PA), Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art (New York, NY), Museum of the City of New York, Birmingha Civil Rights Institute (Alabama), The High Line (New York, NY) and Hammer Museum (Los Angeles, CA). Eagles collaborated with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on NYC Blood Sure and—in partnershi with GMHC and FCB Health—is a co-founder of Blood Equality.</sup>
