Jordan Rountree (b.1990, Paris, France) began his visual art training at the Ateliers du Carrousel programme in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. After studying life drawing and traditional artmaking techniques, his initiation into performance matured from working under the artist practices of Jasmin Blasco and Cyprien Gaillard; he later performed in Terence Koh’s “Adansonias” (2008) at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac.
Rountree has since performed in national theaters and avant-garde spaces in Europe, including the Théâtre de la Bastille, the Pompidou Center in Paris, as well as the Ballhaus Ost in Berlin. He has also directed workshops at the Espace Van Gogh in Arles.
In 2015, Rountree established a studio practice in Los Angeles, where he uses Surrealist literary techniques to produce multidisciplinary works, primarily in the mediums of text, radio art, woodcuts, and performance.
