#jen mann

you know, I haven't posted here in ages.

something happened and I remembered this was a place where I truly enjoyed seeing work, and sharing work. but somehow in all the craziness I think Tumblr got lost, and that is truly sad.

anyways.

hello from the past, and now the present. perhaps you are revisiting this space as well.

Artist:

Jen Mann

"I’ve been in my studio doing so much stuff but here’s a sneak peek of two unfinished pieces in the studio - part of my other sister project - they will be among many paintings I have been preparing for this body of work that includes video, sculptures, and interactive works."

Jen Mann’s “Metonymy” at Gallery Jones.

Opening tonight at Gallery Jones in Vancouver, British Columbia is artist Jen Mann’s solo exhibition, “METONYMY.”

Mann is diving deep into the culture of celebrity, social media and constructed personas. Through a variety of media (film, sculpture and primarily painting), Mann employs the masking tools available in this hyper-selfconscious age to question perception and ideas of identity. With herself as the subject, obfuscated by luminescent layers of distraction such as glossy wigs, theatrical make-up and the text of magazine covers, in “METONYMY” Mann challenges our definition of real as it relates to the self.

The exhibition will be on view until December 4th, 2019.
