Join LA-based artist Eamon Ore-Giron (half of Los Jaichackers) for an in-depth artist talk.

In his lecture, Double Groove, Eamon Ore-Giron will provide an overview of his practice with a focus on his work with Julio César Morales as part of the collaborative LOS JAICHACKERS. Ore-Giron will discuss the duo's interdisciplinary approach, exploration of sonic subcultures, and ideas of transborder appropriation.

Eamon Ore-Giron (b. 1973, Tucson, USA) blends a wide-range of visual styles and influences in the brightly colored abstract geometric paintings for which he is best known. Referencing indigenous and craft traditions as well as 20th-century avant-gardes, his paintings move between temporalities and resonate across cultural contexts. Ore-Giron also works in video and music, and his interdisciplinary projects—as a solo practitioner and as part of collaborative endeavors—explore the interrelationship of sound, color, rhythm, and pattern, and make manifest a history of transnational exchange. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and has been selected to realize major public commissions in New York and Los Angeles. Ore-Giron received a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles.
