Jeremiah Barber is a San Francisco–based artist whose sculpture and multimedia work explores future landscapes of climate collapse and feral technologies. Through meticulously detailed sculpture and photographs, his work looks forward and back in time to consider evolution among increasingly entangled digital and physical realities. A graduate of Stanford University’s Master of Fine Arts program, Barber has been commissioned for projects nationally and internationally, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, I-Park in Connecticut, and the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery. Barber is the recipient of numerous awards, including a fellowship from the California Arts Council and the Eureka Fellowship from the Fleishhacker Foundation. In addition to his solo practice, Barber cofounded 100 Days Action, an artist-run activism project with solo exhibitions at Southern Exposure and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. He teaches sculpture at the University of California Davis and works at the Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco.
