Masters of Architecture, Princeton University; double BA with Honors in Architecture and Music Performance, University of Washington
Jocelyn Beausire (she/they) is a researcher, writer, performance artist, and designer originally from the Midwest. Her work explores embodied action as a form of critical spatial practice and an emergent tool in the design process through a feminist, queer, and ruralizing lens.
Beausire carries a Masters of Architecture from Princeton University, where she was awarded the Suzanne Kolarik Underwood Thesis Prize for her research into maintenance sheds as registers of the ongoing construction of American rural landscapes. She also holds a double BA with Honors in Architecture and Music Performance from the University of Washington. Her writing has been included in LOG, Thresholds, ARCADE NW, and Emergency Index, and she has presented research at Coded Objects: Between Absorption and Isolation, held by the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut; Homes for Singles, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil facilitated by Beatriz Colomina and Jose Lira; and Building Life, a workshop held by Princeton University under the leadership of Spyros Papapetros.
Her design and performance work has been featured by Glasshouse (NY), Performance is Alive (NY), FLUX Factory (NY), YellowFish Festival VI (NY), Westbeth Gallery (NY), ChaNorth Artist Residency (NY), Base Experimental Arts and Space (WA), On the Boards (WA), SOIL Gallery (WA), La Wayaka Artist Residency (CL), and the 24th International Exhibition at the Triennale di Milano (IT), among others.
Beausire has practiced architecture with LTL Architects in New York City, NY, Besler + Sons in Hopewell, NJ, and Schemata Workshop in Seattle, Washington.
