Gregory Eddi Jones (b. 1986, Syracuse, NY) is a post-photographic artist, writer, and publisher based between Philadelphia and New York.
Jones' work is grounded in methods of appropriation and the re-authorship of existing photographic, literary, and aesthetic traditions. His practice often engages with visual criticism, dark humor, cultural commentary, and building conversant bridges between past and present cultural, political, and technological conditions.
He has exhibited his work internationally and throughout the United States, and his self-published books are held in numerous institutional photobook collections, including libraries at Museum of Modern Art, The Met, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, Victoria & Albert Museum, and Yale University, among many others. Jones was named a Foam Talent in 2018, and a Paul Huf Award nominee in 2021.
Jones’s work has been published in numerous international publications, including The Guardian, VICE, British Journal of Photography, Foam Magazine, Wallpaper, Blind, Humble Arts Foundation, Creators Project, Fisheye, Revista Balam, and IMA Magazine, among others.
In addition to his photographic practice, Jones has contributed writing to Foam, Afterimage, Paper Journal, LensCulture, Unseen Magazine, among others. From 2012-2021, he was the Founding Editor & Publisher of In the In-Between, an independent platform for 21st century photographic authorship.
