Jordan Deal, also known as ROSEKILLJUPITER, is a Philadelphia-based multidisciplinary practitioner, performance artist, and alchemist. Their investigative practice uses performance, sound, image, and their body as a conduit between unseen forces and the materializations of socio-political structures and mythologies. They have been investigating technologies/modalities of relations and movement that harness and disperse chaotic forces as a subversive material and methodology. Deal has presented performance work in New York City at Judson Memorial Church, Center for Performance Research, Amant Foundation, and The Brick Theater, Cafe OTO (London), Icebox Project Space, MAAS Building (Philadelphia), and The Lab (San Francisco), among others. They have exhibited at Fleisher-Ollman Gallery, Vox Populi, Grizzly Grizzly, Fleisher Art Memorial, CP Projects Space, Kohl Gallery, and S.N.A.I.L Gallery. They have recently been awarded a 2023-2024 artistic fellowship at the Leslie-Lohman Museum, and were a fall 2022 research fellow at Amant Foundation in Brooklyn. In 2021, they were a fellow at the Headlong Performance Institute in Philadelphia.Deal’s films have been in Blackstar Film Festival (Philadelphia), Indie Fest (Los Angeles), and the Paris Film Festival.
“Thank you thank you and thank you to everyone who made this residency (Black Artist Space to Create) possible. These past two weeks have been a blessing! Not only have I been able to deepen my own personal/artistic practices, I was given the space to connect with people that I love! I was given space to reflect on love, and to prepare for what this next year (2021) will bring! Shout out to New Dance Alliance, Modern Accord Depot and Angie Pittman for the time, the space, and opportunity! I am forever grateful! It felt like a good meal, with dessert!”
