Interdisciplinary artist, pianist, and composer Jason Moran grounds his practice in musical composition and bridges the visual and performing arts through stagecraft. Moran draws from his personal experience to create dynamic compositions that challenge conventional forms. His experimental works embrace the intersection of objects and sound, pushing beyond the traditional staged concert or sculpture to amplify ways that both are inherently theatrical. The Walker Art Center organized Jason Moran, the artist's first museum exhibition, which debuted at the Walker in 2018 before embarking on a tour to the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston, the Wexner Center for the Arts, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
