rdf:langString Jennifer Bolande is an American artist whose work employs various media—primarily photography, sculpture, film and site-specific installations to explore the affinities between particular sets of objects and images and the mercurial meanings they manufacture. Bolande emerged as an artist in the late 1970s, working initially in dance, choreography and drawing. In the early 1980s, she advanced the ideas and strategies proposed by the Pictures Generation Movement and began working with found images, re-photography, appropriation, film and installation, taking her place among those artists who have helped to redefine photography. She takes an intuitive approach to creating conceptual works in the construction of a coherent visual language. A retrospective exhibition of her work was organized in 2010 by the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, and traveled to the ICA in Philadelphia, and the Luckman Gallery at California State University in Los Angeles. A monograph on her work was published by JRP|Ringier in conjunction with the show. Her award-winning site-specific project “Visible Distance/Second Sight” was featured in the inaugural Desert Exhibition of Art, in 2017. Her recent exhibition at Pio Pico Gallery, Los Angeles, titled "The Composition of Decomposition," included a new body of works taking the newspaper as a point of departure for photographs, film and sculptural works. Bolande earned a BFA from Nova Scotia College of Art & Design in 1979. She is a Professor in New Genres in the Department of Art at UCLA. She lives and works in LA and Joshua Tree, California.
