JASON’S ROOM
ANN HIRSCH
During the Stadstriënnale, KRIEG is additionally open on Saturdays, from 2 pm to 6 pm.
For Jason’s Room, American artist Ann Hirsch creates a bedroom for her male alter ego, Jason Biddies. Jason is just a simple bro, trying to find his way in a time of shifting socio-political landscapes. Videos in Jason’s bedroom give a glimpse into Jason’s past, present, and future, and delve into his relationships with intimacy, sexuality, and sense of self-worth.
Ann Hirsch’ newly commissioned exhibition Jason’s Room coincides with a brand-new performance at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in October 2019.
Exhibition leaflet: English / Dutch.
Jason’s Room is made possible with the kind support of Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Arcadia Missa, London.
