Keenan Jay is a current MAPH student and a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Painting. He is also a graduate of the Mountain School of Arts in Los Angeles. A current Ponja Wiki Initiative fellow, this fellowship organized by PoNJA-GenKon and Asia Art Archive in America seeks to broaden the information on post-1945 Japanese art history on Wikipedia. In 2019 and 2020 he hosted a series of oral history interviews with New York gallerists of the 80s and early 90s on Montez Press Radio. With a particular emphasis on the East Village, these interviews led to his current thesis work on the relationship between “Neo-geo” artists and the theory of Jean Baudrillard.  Contact Speaking of Art co-coordinators Zsofia (zsvn@uchicago.edu) and Adriana (aobiols@uchicago.edu) to receive zoom meeting information.
