Jonathan Terranova

Artist Statement

My aim is to examine the veracity of established political systems while scrutinizing those who occupy them. In a culture where corruption and greed have become evermore prevalent and are seen as cultural norms my work becomes a delivery system for information and social change. From the Military Industrial Complex to the Coalition Provisional Authority, following political progressions or regressions enable the times to perpetuate the concepts. As an interdisciplinary artist I allow the concept to dictate my material and process driven choices.

I was recently contacted by someone to send them some information on purchasing the uncut currency work. He or She used my contact form, but did not include their email address, so I have no way of contacting them. If you happen to be visiting my site again please send me an email at jist(@)jonathanterranova.com (Remove the () before sending. I use them for people who phish the net for emails. I already get enough junk mail as it is.)

Also, I've been keeping my blog updated as much as I can. You can click here to view it.

New photos from the Order 81 Re-Engineering Iraqi Agriculture Series are up. The web portion of the project is up as well. The site is www.ImpedireCo.com.

Also, I was searching the web to find a forum where I was able to ask a few questions regarding New York since I plan on moving back once I graduate, but I could not find any forums that covered New York in general. I mainly found Brooklyn forums and nothing else. So I decided to make A New York Artist Forum. I hope you will sign up and start some discussions. Also, if you sign up for the forum or the Impedire Co. blog they cross reference each other so signing up for one will sign you up for the other. An email address and a name is all that is required and will not be shared with a third party.

The new website is up and more SEO friendly. As my work has been developing I have been working more interdisciplinary and series based. This website will allow me to easily add a new series of works and keep the older one's below that. It is also designed and developed so I can add an artist statement (however brief that may be) to each of the sections regarding each series.It's all very simple and google should now pic up these photos. So if you image search "Jonathan Terranova" (give it a week or so), you should see the photos on this site. Top
