Career

=Artistic practice=

Madere began exhibiting his large scale installations internationally with the generational survey of monumental works DOOM: SURFACE Controle curated by Renaud Jerez at Le Magasin - Centre National d'Art Contemporain, Grenoble FR.{{Cite web|url=http://www.alexandershulan.com/madere_kaleidoscope.pdf|title=Madere Kaleidoscope}} In October 2015, Madere opened his North American solo debut at The Whitney Museum of American Art with an Untitled sculptural exhibition organized by curator Christopher Y. Lew.{{Cite web|url=https://www.moussemagazine.it/magazine/stella-rose-madere-whitney-2015|title=Frank Stella, Rachael Rose and Jared Madere at Whitney Museum, New York — Mousse Magazine and Publishing|website=www.moussemagazine.it}}{{Cite web |date=2015-11-11 |title=Jared Madere’s RV Installation Outside the Whitney Museum |url=https://coolhunting.com/culture/jared-madere-rv-whitney-museum/ |access-date=2023-08-27 |website=COOL HUNTING® |language=en-US}} The following month, Madere hosted an art series of art exhibitions within his mobile gallery Bed-Stuy Love Affair in an RV outside the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Madere spent the first half of 2017 in Himachal Pradesh, India creating tapestries for the exhibition Anasthasia and Zoey staged in the hills below Gallu Devi.{{Cite web|url=https://www.motherculture.love/anasthasia-zoey-jared-madere/|title=Anasthasia & Zoey}} Later in the year, Madere was commissioned to create Unconditional Love, which would fill the atrium of the London department store Liberty for about 36 hours before it was removed due to technical reasons.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thetimes.com/uk/article/artist-baffled-as-liberty-ditches-work-vlm3s9s7w|title=Artist baffled as Liberty ditches work|first=David|last=Sanderson|via=www.thetimes.co.uk}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/london-department-store-removes-works-by-jared-madere-and-architecture-social-club-citing-technical-issues-8678/|title=London Department Store Removes Works by Jared Madere and Architecture Social Club, Citing ‘Technical Issues’|first1=Alex|last1=Greenberger|date=July 11, 2017}}

In 2018, Madere began work on his first sculptural opera Oouolyamtelbellembem Magical Crisis In The Special V.I.P. Spot which debuted in Los Angeles in November 2018 beneath the outgoing flight path of LAX International Airport. The following year Madere expanded upon this string of Frozen Operas with Stepped Onto The Moving Stairs Before I Could Tie My Shoes in Berlin and En Route To Burn The Palace I Was Told So Much Of The Queen's Virtues That By The Time I Reached The Gate I Had Become A Guard within their installation Pavilion Du Voyageurs for Nicolas Bourriaud's 16th edition of the Istanbul Biennial, The Seventh Continent. In 2021, Madere staged their fourth Frozen Opera, The Unpopular Courage of Dutchess Orchid Drop on the artificial snowboarding slope of Copenhagen's trash burning power plant Copenhill.{{Cite web|url=https://www.motherculture.love/voyageurs/|title=Pavilion du Voyageurs & En route to burn the palace I was told so much of the queen's virtues that by the time I reached the gate I had become a guard|date=February 2, 2020}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.motherculture.love/stepped-onto-the-moving-stairs-portable-visual/|title=Stepped onto the Moving Stairs before I could tie my Shoes (Portable Visual)}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.dezeen.com/2019/10/08/big-copenhill-power-plant-ski-slope-copenhagen/|title=BIG opens CopenHill power plant in Copenhagen with rooftop ski slope|first=Lizzie|last=Crook}}{{Cite web|url=https://artreview.com/copenhagen-calling-the-lowdown-on-the-danish-capital-art-scene/|title=Copenhagen Calling: The Lowdown On The Danish Capital’s Art Scene|website=artreview.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.kooness.com/posts/magazine/the-seventh-continent-16th-istanbul-biennial|title=Kooness|website=Kooness}}{{Cite web|url=https://biennialfoundation.org/2019/09/the-16th-istanbul-biennial-with-the-title-the-seventh-continent-opens-today/|title=The 16th Istanbul Biennial, with the title The Seventh Continent, opens today|date=September 14, 2019|website=Biennial Foundation}}

In 2014, the gallery became a mobile exhibition venue when it moved into a 30-foot truck complete with wrought iron gates armoring all of the vehicle windows, pink marble floors, and a flatscreen television with surround sound system, which played Tekken during exhibition openings.{{Cite web |last=Lehrer |first=Adam |title=Artist and Bed-Stuy Love Affair Founder Jared Madere Opens Whitney Museum Installation |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamlehrer/2015/10/15/artist-and-bed-stuy-love-affair-founder-jared-madere-opens-whitney-museum-installation/ |website=Forbes}}{{Cite web|url=https://coolhunting.com/culture/jared-madere-rv-whitney-museum/|title=Jared Madere’s RV Installation Outside the Whitney Museum|date=November 11, 2015|website=Cool Hunting}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/eyegays-ecstatic-painting-and-a-glorious-mess-andrew-russeth-on-the-year-in-and-beyond-the-galleries-3357/|title=Eyegays, Ecstatic Painting, and a Glorious Mess: Andrew Russeth on the Year in, and Beyond, the Galleries|first1=Andrew|last1=Russeth|date=December 30, 2014}}{{Cite web|url=http://nymag.com/news/articles/reasonstoloveny/2015/rv-gallery|title=Because This Gallery Can Get Stuck in Traffic|first1=Andrew|last1=Russeth|date=December 13, 2015|website=NYMag.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/inclusion-was-the-theme-at-the-whitneys-opening-block-party-458/|title=Inclusion Was the Theme at the New Whitney’s Block Party |website=Vice.com}}

Reception

Noam Segal writes for the catalog of Nicolas Bourriaud's Crash Test, in both his artistic practice, Madere's works focus on "the annulment of any hierarchical order in the material and symbolic realm" and "the abolition of structures such as the superiority of discourse and western time perception."{{Cite web|url=https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d55a8e0e1b6c2000146d5c7/t/5dba603467dcb450208bf760/1572495412655/DUST%2C+Crash+Test.pdf|title="Dust," in Crash Test (exhibition catalogue), La Panacée, Montpellier}}

Critic Clayton Press writes for Forbes, "it is difficult to capture the very real sense of ecstatic, if not romantic, intoxication that Madere conjures with his installations, environments, and visualizations."
