Justin Cooper is an artist and performer living and working in Catskill, Kingston, Brooklyn NY. The ways they delineate, create thresholds and cause thin spaces where things can exist and be indefinable for a brief moment before crossing over. His work is located in these liminal spaces and positions, dangling precariously between the hinged and unhinged. A relentless cross-pollination of media within his practice marks a restless search for these lines in both formal and conceptual manifestations. Whether drawn, spoken, or objectified, the lines he seeks contain an energy that is both earnest and utterly deadpan. Mundane materials carve out a straight-faced existence alongside notions of the sublime, both simultaneously celebrating and cancelling out the other. Here an outpouring of abstract images and wholly recognizable objects are repositioned and subverted as unconscious signs to form a blurred language where unchained signifiers playfully resist coherent translation. He seeks these unstable relationships that hover between the comedic and the disturbing according to circumstance.
