In this video, we speak with 2021-22 artist in residence Jacob Mason-Macklin. Ohio-born and Queens, New York-based artist Jacob Mason-Macklin's work examines how painting in the age of social media, post-camera and after the Patriot Act, functions as a tool for looking and surveillance. Inspired by his observations in Harlem, he questions the implications of acts of seeing and the point at which looking becomes surveillance.
In It's time for me to go: Studio Museum Artists in Residence 2021-22, the artist examines the history of painting as a means of capture, and thus a technology for imaging, in a series of eight new oil paintings on linen. You can view Mason-Macklin's work in It's time for me to go, currently on view at MoMA PS1.
