Jesse McLaughlin (BA ‘22) is a Brooklyn-based artist, community scientist, and interdisciplinary tinkerer born in Bronxville, NY during the final game of the 1998 World Series. His dad was very distracted.
Dislocated and disembodied, McLaughlin’s self-portraiture challenges visibility and familiarity through his documentations of profound change. McLaughlin served as a curator for Gallatin Arts Festival 2021 and an artist consultant for the NY/NJ Harbor Estuary Program’s Citizen Advisory Council on how art can generate community-driven participation in climate justice. He has exhibited directing, choreographic, video, and mixed-media work at Gibney, Governors Island WetLab Gallery, Gallatin Galleries, and Rutgers University. In January 2022, McLaughlin received his Bachelor of Arts from NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a concentration entitled, “Compassionate Art Practices as Transspecies Ecojustice.”
