Jenna Horton is an artist and writer based in Lenapehoking/Philadelphia. She works within assemblage, fluxus, DIY and performance art lineages. Her work deploys performative elements, collection, discarded materials, 2-D imagery, text, personal experience, and site. You’ll see her work in in a public park, an apartment, on a street corner as much as you’ll see it in a white or black box. Art doesn’t belong solely to a capital “A” art world or museums.

IMAGE NATION: A Tour, her most recent solo show, written in collaboration with Kurt Chiang, was featured at LMDA’s 2022 Conference: Performance Outside the Procsenium. She has an extensive background working as a collaborator/performer with experimental theatre companies and artists, including Headlong, Team Sunshine, Annie Wilson, and Swim Pony.

She’s currently working on a series of sculptural assemblages using discarded sports trophies.

She is an alumna of Headlong Performance Institute, a former writer for thINKingDance, and holds a BA in Performance Studies from Brown University. She also studied at Escola de Clown in Barcelona, Spain.
