Jack Langdon

Jack Langdon (b.1994) is a musician, video artist, and writer.

He creates work that heightens our attention towards commonplace sounds, images, and narratives—reassembling things we take for granted into strange, elusive constructions. His works are stark and expansive, drawing inspiration from the landscape and folk modernisms of the American Midwest. As a musician, Jack performs on a variety of keyboard and string instruments as well as composes concert music. His films focus on landscape, the built environment, and people. He writes on the political economy of culture and has been published in Sound American, Cacophony, and Shred Magazines.

Jack was raised in Keyeser, Wisconsin and currently lives in Chicago, Illinois.
He belongs to the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and is of German, English, French, and Ojibwe descent.
