Jamie McMurry
b.1971 Los Angeles, USA
Jamie McMurry has been working in performance art for more than 10 years.
His works often include intensely visceral activities, densely packed series
of actions referencing the pacing and behavior of young children at confused
and often mischievous play. The materials and actions come from a place
of memory and flostalgia, quintessentially suburban Americana. These endeavors
call attention to the body as the archive of one's past and physical or
emotional pain transcending traditional reaction and becoming a means of
unification with the observer. He co-founded and directed the Rite! Performance
Art Troupe (Seattle) and Powderkeg Contemporary Perfomance (Seattle and
Los Angeles) from l992-1997 and has also organized and produced extensively,
participating in major regional and international performance art exhibitions
inoiuding the world-renowned Full Nelson Festival 2003. He was recently
working as a full time visiting faculty member in the Performance Area
at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (through Spring 2005)
and has also had visiting artist/guest lecturer positions at the University
of Northern lowa and
the Turku Art Academy, Finland.
