Jordan Horton is a curator and scholar from Newark, New Jersey, whose scholarship largely focuses on the internet as a geographical space, with a special interest in sonic and visual aesthetics, internet subcultures, and the translation of online-based communication systems into everyday life.
Jordan completed a BA in Art History from DePauw University in 2019 and an MA in Art History from Williams College/ Clark Art Institute in 2023. They previously served as an Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellow at the Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA). At WCMA, they assisted with exhibitions such as Sweaty Concepts (2021) and Remixing the Hall (ongoing). They have also worked with living artists for shows such as Frantz Zéphirin: Selected Works (2022), Beatriz Cortez: The Portals (2023), and Mirrored Interiors: Films by Cecilia Aldarondo (2023).
Jordan's curatorial practice is not just about the art but about the people. It is centered around fostering community and ensuring accessibility. A testament to this is their recent curation of the exhibition Pick Me Up, Put Me On at the Bronx River Art Center. Currently, they are the Emerging Curator of VisArts and the 2024 Curatorial Fellow at Geoffrey Biddle Studios.
