1. real bio. all true.
2. stuffy bio. cool and i’m proud of it but seriously - why. so dumb. so last year.
3. cv. super long and annoying but also all true and hard won. thank you everyone! seriously don’t read it unless you’re wondering why i charge so much or i’m so slow to reply or something
4. select resume. much more reasonable.
1. Jon Brumit’s earliest activities included building humane rabbit traps from scratch, racing wagons, driving a tractor, shooting at birds, eating fried okra and mowing grass. And although he was diagnosed a near-genius at age eight, he went on to complete a life-size model of a Buck Rogers Flight Craft cockpit made entirely of soggy cardboard and, while in seventh grade, was awarded a second place science fair ribbon for his experimentation with types of music found to be most conducive for plant growth (classical! not speed metal despite my wishes)
His earliest dreams of adulthood were to be a race car driver and an inventor, later accomplishing part of this dream by successfully building a 420 cubic foot electric Sound Sandwich. His first art class was as a senior at his second of three different high schools, where he learned to make chains from construction paper. During his second art class at another school he created videos with a Pixl Vision camera and conducted recreational cough syrup experiments on himself before typing class.
Brumit’s first vinyl remix was at age 16 using a Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack, and he was once known to play covers of TV shows on a Baldwin Organ. Although he was raised in a loving and caring home and won several skateboard contests, he later found himself taken into custody for driving a borrowed Chevette through lawns in Georgia while on a Cherry 7-Up run and on another occasion had the good fortune of being punched in the face for shooting off fireworks behind a woman at a gas station in Tennessee.
Jon has composed, conducted, exhibited and or performed as Brasstards, Cat Head Biscuits, Polar Easter Island, Choc Electrique, Boondoggle, Catch and Release, Gown, The Unduane, Jon the Band, Van Boven, Organoff, Sliv & Dulet Enterprises, mattttam-jonnoj, Too Bobs, nprkstra, Everlasting the Way, Brumit, VOMIT, Vol-Mit, DIJON, Van Balgene, Bloom, Neighborhood Public Radio, Von Bunting, The New Bobby Sextet (a solo act with 6 turntables and only BOB records) and occasionally as Jon Brumit. He loves collaborating, making things and listening to a good story
2. Jon Brumit is an artist working at the intersections of sound, public engagement, collaboration and structured improvisation. His solo and collaborative works have been exhibited internationally at venues including the Whitney Museum of American Art, DeYoung Museum, MCA Chicago, Artists Television Access (SF), Venice Architectural Biennale, Novi Sad Contemporary Museum (Serbia), Radio Web MACBA (Barcelona), MOCA Los Angeles, MOCAD Detroit, SF MOMA, 0047 (Berlin), and In-F (Tokyo).
Publications include Art Papers, Penthouse, Punk Planet, Wired, Artforum, CAA Journal, Readymade, 7x7, New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times with broadcast media coverage including 20/20, Today Show, Tech Now, Discovery Channel, and NPR's All Things Considered.
Awards and commissions include Kresge Arts in Detroit Fellowship, Creative Work Fund, CEC ArtsLink, San Jose Public Arts Commission, Oakland Arts Commission, Meet the Composer, Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in Fine Arts, Knight Foundation, and the Knight Arts Challenge. Festivals include ISEA/01 in San Jose, Version 05 in Chicago, Sonic Fragments at Princeton University with residencies at Elsewhere (NC), Headlands Center for the Arts, Temescal Amity Works, KUDA.org (Serbia), and the San Francisco Dump.

STATEMENT
Often characterized as "social practice", my work is an evolving hybrid of social design, object-making, sound, radio, and audience engagement. By combining components of collaboration, grassroots activism, civic protest, material philosophy, and wildly improvisational experiments, my aim is to engage people from the general public by immersing them within a creative and often lateral collaborative practice where everyone learns together.

you look familiar! no seriously. let’s talk. it is actually totally possible we’ve met before. and i should probably remember your name but i have a terrible memory. and the pharmacological experiments do take their toll. so i’m sorry for that. hey but isn’t it also possible we’ve had amazing or amazingly painful and awkward conversations before? because apparently i’m super overly talkative and pretty curious. anyway i’m sorry if i wasn’t a better listener then but if we re- meet again or then again we can likely agree to blame it on my circuit bent brain and not my ego. heck we were probably neighbors for all i know! because i’ve actually lived all over (listed below, alphabetical order) and i remember you most of all because of all of your help trying to keep me from starting my bbq by setting my old socks on fire over and over again. anyway thank you for that and tell the fam i said hAay
