= Jennifer Moon (ARTIST) = Jennifer Moon is a Los Angeles-based conceptual artist and life artist. She was born in Lafayette, Indiana, and received her BA and Master's degrees from UCLA and Art Center College of Design. Moon held her first solo art display in 1996, and her work was consistently exhibited till 2002. The multidisciplinary artist's work focuses on self-empowerment through "The Revolution ," a movement she coined. Through the Revolution, Moon combines queer science, self-help, fantasy, and the intensely personal to communicate their unique vision with the public through performances, videos, writing, and sculpture. Principle 1 of The Revolution Definition of Abundance (2012) and Where I Learned of Love (2012) were published in 2012 as part of an exhibition at Commonwealth and Council, a Los Angeles art gallery (2012). Moon released The Book of Eros as part of her contribution to the Hammer Museum's Made in LA Biennial show in (2014). Moon has hosted a monthly radio program on KCHUNG Radio since 2012, initially known as Adventures Within and now renamed Adventures With You. She discusses love, bodily issues, race, trauma, and politics. Moon put six video cameras in her house and car in 2014-2015, which stream 24 hours a day to the Equitable Life Building lobby's public space. Moon received a 2013 CCF Fellowship and the Moan public appreciation award at the Hammer Museum's Made in LA show in 2014.

= Life and Education = Jennifer Moon got her Master of Fine Arts, (2002) Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA and Bachelor of Art, (1996) University of California, Los Angeles, CA. Jennifer is also a life-artist whose work examines how organizational systems (social systems, institutional structures, power relations, scientific theories, emotional frameworks, etc.) are entangled, co-constituted, enacted, and perpetuated via bodies in the co-production of ethico-onto-epistemologies (human, nonhuman, material, immaterial). Moon's work mobilizes potential to reconfigure our connection to power, to rekindle the social and political imaginaries, and to inspire change beyond binaries, hierarchies, and capital by drawing from queer life, science, self-help, popular culture, the intensely personal, and fantasy. Commonwealth and Council, Los Angeles, represents Moon. Moon's art may be seen in the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California. The writings and images that make up the basis of Moon's self-published book This Is Where I Learned of Love are examples of her technique. Moon portrays herself as a political prisoner in the book, combining her letters with a broader understanding of US jail populations. Moon offers a place for evolving ideas about society by blurring boundaries and actions. Moon also runs self-discovery workshops as part of her exhibitions, continues to write, and presents the KCHUNG radio show Adventures Within. Moon wants to take the Revolution beyond art and establish a Revolution foundation that may help others. She admits that the Revolution may blossom into a vocation that extends outside the art industry at some time.
