Paris Internationale

Jesse Stecklow's practice is rooted in data collection; each of his sculptures is a link in a recursive chain in which each work references a past work or foretells a future work. Stecklow extracts data from exhibition sites, using it as inspiration for materials and forms in new works. Elements brought together from diverse sources repeat, shift forms, and reveal unexpected connections; themes from earlier projects are reinvented and recast in different constellations with each following presentation.

Stecklow (*1993, United States) lives and works in Los Angeles. He has presented two solo exhibitions at Sweetwater, most recently in 2023. His exhibition Terminal took place at the Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien (mumok), Vienna in 2022, and was accompanied by a catalogue. His work has also recently been included in exhibitions at the Capc Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, the Julia Stoschek Foundation, and the Kunstverein Braunschweig. Stecklow received a degree in Media Arts from UCLA, Los Angeles, in 2014.
