Jacksun Bein (b. Louisiana) is interested in subject-object relations (aka body-sculpture relations), psycho-sexual tropes, and limits of control. Bein’s work operates as performative networks spanning writing, sculpture, images, and dead/alive/immortal emptiness.

Alongside an artistic practice, Bein is working on long term research of American prison museums which investigates invisibility, mediation, and spectacles of the sub-human. The project has focused on the Angola Museum at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, evidence and object presentation in NYC criminal court, a tour for the blind at the Eastern State Penitentiary, and the Ohio State Reformatory’s Paranormal Psychic Convention.
