Jonathan Zimmerman, born 1971, is a conceptual artist based in New York and received his MFA from Hunter College in 2012.Zimmerman is impressed by is the staggering amount of systems and subsystems that we have created and the limitless variation that is developed in similar types of objects which invokes our impulse and desire to create and attempt to come to a better understanding of our creator. That somehow through ceaseless invention and innovation (i.e. creation) we will eventually attain our day of rest. Through his work he tries to inform himself with an understanding and contextualization of these systems by unlocking the inherent ethos, pathos, and empathy with which they were created.
