Jesse Malmed is an artist working in video, performance, text, installation, publication and new media, an independent video art programmer and chiller. Among his interests are language, technologies, ritual, games and jokes. These ideas and realms are explored primarily through mesmerizing video and conceptual poetics. His work has been screened, performed and exhibited in museums, microcinemas, galleries, DIY artspaces, bars and barns. He was born in 1983 in Santa Fe, NM, earned a BA (with Honors) in Film & Electronic Arts from Bard College in 2007 and currently lives and works in Chicago, IL.
On tour and in the world, Jesse performs a series of video-based song poems, screening his lush videos and instigating CONVERSATIONAL KARAOKE!!, a peripatetic and participatory installation in which the “audience” enacts complex, charming and strange dialogues of the artist’s design.
Additionally, he programs the (more or less) monthly thematically-curated DEEP//LEAP MICROCINEMA, which pairs the best in global visionary cinema (video art, poetic, conceptual, personal, expanded, experimental, etc film) with related and commissioned performance.
