• Jeffrey Stuker

      b.1979

      Jeffrey Stuker’s intricately rendered films examine the relationship between synthetic and organic, engaging and considering mimicry as a metaphor for how organisms relate to their environments. He produces extremely accurate computer-generated imagery that he imbues with historical, scientific or industrial references to create touchpoints between the subject the work depicts and the technology used to create it.

       

      Stuker was born in Colorado in 1979. He lives and works in Los Angeles. Stuker will be included in Pacific Strandard Time at the Getty Museum, Los Angeles and the University of California, San Diego in 2024. Recent exhibitions include Plates from a Defoliated Monograph, Fulcrum Press, Los Angeles, 2023; Throughline, Bureau, Los Angeles, 2023; Objects of Desire, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 2022; Made in LA, The Hammer Museum and The Huntington Garden, Museum and Library, Los Angeles, 2020-2021; International Biennial of Photography, Thessaloniki Museum of Photography: Thessaloniki, Greece, 2021-22. He received a BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and an MFA from Yale University, where he also taught from 2006 to 2013. Stuker is currently a co-editor of the journal Effects and a lecturer at the University of California, San Diego.
