Jabulani Maseko, born 1977 in Johannesburg South Africa, is a mixed media artist, for whom politics is an inescapable part of his practice. His work is grounded in ideas of place, histories and personal experiences. The work often explores the ghosts and imprints of the past, and draws from the materials, ephemera and objects of everyday life. His practice includes drawing, painting, found objects, photography and performance. Exploring personal memory, family history, story-telling, and myth; his body enters his work both as medium and as a surface. For his presentation at Extra Academy he will look at food and its role in setting-up paradigms both public and private. Jabulani Maseko currently operates between Porrentruy, Switzerland and London in the UK.
