2012 Ms. Casey Musicant casey.musicant@gmail.com Class Agent: Mr. Ed Rosini erosini32@gmail.com Jordan Walters was the featured artist in the MKA Upper School Weiss Gallery in November and December. In an excerpt from his artist’s statement for the “Seen Around Town” exhibition, Jordan notes: “This body of work is primarily an observational investigation into the mundane and yet the bizarre. The title of the show ... suggests the colloquial nature of the images: they are snapshots of what is often viewed as everyday life, but they also suggest that such everyday existence will still feature unexplained oddities and moments of serenity, random and unexpected.” Jordan is currently pursuing a dual degree in architecture and photography at Columbia University.
