jargonist supports artists within the histories of incarceration, topics of race,
the parade of language, and the ensemble of gender. jargonist values the
ascension of artists amidst a landscape of specialized knowledge in art. we
support the underrepresented art and the B-sides of an artist's practice that
keep them afloat between bodies of work.
By supporting an artist lesser-known works, the artists teaching practice, their passion projects, and their social activism we help new subjects emerge. jargonist offers support where others have not. Whether it be due to marginalization, stigma, or the limited opportunities afforded to practicing artists amidst the "art world jargon” we foresee an art world where artists get to decide what constitutes meaningful work and not the players of capital.
jargonst celebrates the loquacious poet, the color labor of the painter, the binary blending of the printmaker, the street lurch of the performance artist, the dust drawn walls of the sculptor and everything in between.
