Jon Rubin is multi-disciplinary whose work explores the social dynamics of public contexts and the lives of ordinary individuals. His solo and collaborative projects include: creating a game show for absurdist ideas, operating a gallery that only presents exhibitions on people who live in its neighborhood, opening a fake store in an indoor shopping mall, launching a web-based fan club for an obscure weightlifter, running his own clandestine restaurant, creating a show with and about a 10 year old boy, producing a cable-access TV variety show at a senior center, and most recently developing his own free experimental art school.
