BIO

Rachel Jackson (b. Harrisburg, PA) is an artist and publisher based in Long Beach, California. Her practice examines the systems that confer institutional legitimacy, often emulating and destabilizing them as a means of revealing their arbitrary construction. Working across lens-based practice and digital imaging technologies, Jackson raises questions of site, authority, and mediation, testing the delineation between truth and fiction. Her research-based practice is informed by
media theory and institutional critique, foregrounding the mechanisms of knowledge production and circulation. In collaboration with Brandon Bandy, she publishes artist books through Special Effects and organizes exhibitions
at Los Angeles-based gallery, Timeshare.
