Jeff Jahn
Jeff Jahn (born 1970) is a curator, art critic, artist, historian, blogger and composer based in Portland, Oregon, United States. He coined the phrase declaring Portland, "the capital of conscience for the United States," in a ''Portland Tribune'' op-ed piece,〔Jahn, Jeff, ''Portland Tribune''(), January 12th 2012.〕 which was then reiterated in ''The Wall Street Journal''.〔Plagens, Peter. ''Our Next Art Capital: Portland?'', (''The Wall Street Journal'' ), May 2nd, 2012.〕
Jahn's cultural activities in Portland frequently receive attention outside the region from media outlets such as CNN, ''Art in America'',〔Plagens, Peter. ''Report From the Blogosphere: The New Grass Roots'', (''Art in America'' ), November 2007.〕 ''The Art Newspaper'', ''The Wall Street Journal'', and ''ARTnews''. Described in the press as "outspoken and provocative",〔(ULTRA )〕 and curatorially as, "a clarion call for Portland's new guard of serious artists—the ones creating a dialog that exceeds the bounds of so-called regional art."〔Henderson, Harvest, ''The Oregonian'', May 16th, 2003.〕 He originally took up art criticism when then-''Modern Painters'' editor Karen Wright asked him to contribute to the then-London based magazine in the late 1990s. In 2005, he co-founded PORT, a noted visual art blog.
Also, he lectures on art history or critiques at Portland Art Museum,〔(''PAM Artist Talks'' ), May 13, 2010.〕 University of Oregon, Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland State University, Oregon College of Art and Craft and Lewis & Clark College. In 2010 he was a juror for the Andy Warhol Art Writing Grants.〔(Warhol Art Writing Grants )〕 From 2002-2008 Jahn served as a board member of the Portland Art Museum's Contemporary Art Council and was elected to the vice president's post for a three-year term from 2005 to 2008. In 2006, he launched the visual arts non-profit Organism, which has hosted the work of artists Jarrett Mitchell〔Gallivan, Joseph, ''Portland Tribune'' December 2006.〕 Pipilotti Rist, Yoram Wolberger, Weppler & Mahovsky and Hank Willis Thomas. In 2008, he shut down Organism as the scope of his projects fell increasingly outside of its more narrow mission of living artists. One of Jahn's more recent curatorial project was a scholarly conference and exhibition〔Vondersmith, Jason, ''Portland Tribune'' () April 15, 2010〕 dedicated to the work of Donald Judd with Robert Storr as keynote speaker at the University of Oregon's Portland campus.

As a curator, Jahn has been behind exhibitions like: "Play" (2002),〔Bancud, Michaela. (Game plan: Local arts champion Jeff Jahn assembles a show that focuses on our innate need to play. ) ''The Portland Tribune'', September 6, 2002.〕 "The Best Coast" (2003), "Symbiont Synthetic" (2003), "Fresh Trouble" (2005), "Model Behavior" (2007),〔Speer, Richard. (Organism's sophomore show impresses with restraint. ) ''Willamette Week'', September 12, 2007〕 "Volume" (2008)〔Motley, John. () ''Portland Mercury'', September 4, 2008〕 and Donald Judd (2010). Jahn's art has been exhibited in the United States and Germany. Since 2007, his photography,〔Art News (review of and image from Zeitgeist at Pulliam Deffenbaugh gallery) September 2008〕〔(Portland Visual Chronicle ) September 2008〕 and spatial installations have received increasing attention. One solo show ''Eutrophication'' took place at ''Pacific Northwest College of Art's'' Manuel Izquierdo Sculpture Gallery in April 2008 in a space originally designed by a young Brad Cloepfil, then later modified by faculty. His latest solo show Vection at the New American Art Union presented installation art and photography and was picked by the Huntington Post as a top show on the West Coast.〔(Jeff Jahn's Vection at NAAU gallery )〕 Jahn's installation work was selected for the 10th Northwest Biennial at the Tacoma Art Museum where it was noted by numerous critics. One Seattle critic, Jen Graves, described the work as, "a faux forest canopy made of jagged pieces of plywood that create a small, localized environment of green-tinted shadows where you can hide out to think."〔''Jen Graves'' (''The Stranger'', January 24th 2012 )〕
