Jason Lujan

Jason Lujan is originally from Marfa, Texas. He brings the experience of a 20 year career as an artist and arts administrator in New York City managing departments with the Dia Foundation, Museum of Modern Art, United Nations, Park Avenue Armory, and Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Jason has contributed to, planned, constructed, and managed productions and exhibitions by Ryoji Ikeda; Royal Shakespeare Company; Tom Sachs; Merce Cunningham; Janet Cardiff; Ann Hamilton; Paul McCarthy; Marina Abramovic; Douglas Gordon; Martin Creed; Taryn Simon; Herzog & DeMueron; Ai Wei Wei; The Met’s Costume Institute Ball; Art of Native America: The Charles and Valerie Diker Collection; Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Church; Camp: Notes on Fashion, and more.
Associated projects involve assisting with fashion runway installations for Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, and Y3, among others.

As an artist, he creates tools for understanding and interpreting the processes by which different cultures approach each other as a result of travel and communication. Largely integrating visual components rooted in North American and Asia, the work focuses on the possibilities and limitations of the exchanging of ideas, meanings, and values, questioning the concepts of authorship and authenticity. Jason is represented by Toronto galleries MKG127 and, as the collaborative project Native Art Department International, by Patel Brown.
