Jason Lujan

Jason Lujan is originally from Marfa, Texas. 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, which are later homogenized. Largely integrating visual components rooted in North America and Asia, his work focuses on the possibilities and limitations of the exchanging of ideas, meanings, and values; questioning the concepts of authorship and authenticity.

Jason is an Assistant Professor at OCAD U and one of two artists behind Native Art Department International (NADI), a project in collaboration with Maria Hupfield. He has exhibited at MKG127 (ON), the Amon Carter Museum (TX), Museo Nacional de Culturas Populares (CDMX), Art Mur (QB), Museum of Contemporary Native Art (NM) , and International Print Center (NYC). Professionally, he has contributed to, planned, and managed exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Dia Art Foundation, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Park Avenue Armory.
