Jake Brush is an artist working in video, performance, sculpture and installation. Jake has participated in residency programs at Signal Culture (Owego, NY) and Shandaken: Storm King (New Windsor, NY). Jake was awarded the 2021 Van Lier Fellowship (Wave Hill, NY) and has shown work at DUPLEX gallery (NYC). In 2023 The Shed commissioned Jake Brush’s “Petpourri” , a video installation with sculptural elements. Jake’s work draws from junk television (MTV’s The Challenge, The Jerry Springer Show) and niche Long Island celebrities (a woman selling sex out of a hot dog truck, a man who is an eccentric pet store owner). These characters comedically rage through fantastical, and inescapable worlds, vying for power through never ending attention seeking.
