Jesse Harris (b. 1981, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) graduated with a BFA from the University of Guelph in 2007. Underpinned by his interest in media studies, Harris’ work takes subliminal messages found in advertising, brand icons, and Pop Art, as his points of departure. Using these references, Harris builds on the humor and double meanings embedded in mass imagery by teasing out the absurdity of the message.
Harris’ practice includes public projects, two of which are MIRROR AS SIGN at Art Metropole (2013) and YOU’VE CHANGED, which is still on view on Queen Street West (2012). Recent exhibitions include Cooper Cole, Toronto; Night Gallery, Los Angeles; University of Toronto Art Centre, Toronto; Roberta Pelan, Toronto; Greenpoint Terminal Gallery, New York; Mercer Union, Toronto; Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, Winnipeg; and The Power Plant, Toronto. Harris lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
