Travis Jeppesen

Travis Jeppesen, born 1979 in Fort Lauderdale, USA, lives in Berlin. His recent books include “Settlers Landing” (ITNA Press, 2023) and “Bad Writing” (Sternberg/MIT Press, 2019). He is known as the creator of object-oriented writing, a metaphysical approach to art writing that attempts to inhabit the art object. His first major object-oriented writing project, “16 Sculptures”, took the form of an audio installation and was featured in the 2014 Whitney Biennial, and later, as a solo exhibition at Wilkinson Gallery in London, and finally published in book format by Publication Studio. In 2013, he was awarded an Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant.
