Jordan Rosenow’s practice spans sculpture, choreography, and large-scale, site-responsive installation. Gravitating to the durability and practicality of industrial and construction materials, rosenow reorients their conventional functions and meanings. Through subtle acts of bending, reconfiguration, and displacement, these materials challenge the systems they support and the structures they uphold.
Balancing aesthetic inquiry with critical analysis, their work engages gender and queerness through a material lens grounded in environmental concerns, situating practices of care alongside the impacts of extraction, disposability, and industrial development. Rosenow’s movement-based practice operates at the intersection of sculpture and choreography, drawing on theories of site-specificity and embodiment to frame the body as both sculptural material and a temporal language through which relationships, time, and fluidity are articulated.
Rosenow was featured in Hudson Valley Artists 2022: The Material, The Thing at the Dorsky Museum of Art. They have had solo exhibitions at The White Page, the Rochester Art Center, and The Soap Factory. Their large-scale outdoor installations have been presented at Scoville Memorial Library (CT), Lynden Sculpture Garden (WI), Artist Field (VT), Franconia Sculpture Park (MN), and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Rosenow’s performance work has been recently presented at the Dorsky Museum of Art (NY) and the Walker Art Center (MN). Rosenow is an Exhibition Technician at Dia: Beacon.
