Jamie Isenstein’s enduring interest in the nature of truth and illusion, the self, and the body, has resulted in a body of work that spans photography, sculpture, video, and performance.
The Crisp-Ellert Art Museum is pleased to present an exhibition of work by artist Jamie Isenstein. Isenstein’s enduring interest in the nature of truth and illusion, the self, and the body, has resulted in a body of work that spans photography, sculpture, video, and performance. A new series of photographs and sculptures will be included in the exhibition. In these works, the artist utilizes "fun house" mirrors as a mechanism to consider our experiences of the body that may seem disjointed, distorted or mis-translated.
Isenstein has had solo exhibitions at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and more recently at the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, and the Joseloff Gallery at the Hartford Art School. Her installation and performance Infinite Invisible Soft-Shoe was recently featured at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and in 2015 her work was featured in Pratfall Tramps at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. She has exhibited her work at CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Long Island City, the Manchester International Festival, UK and Tate Liverpool, UK. Isenstein received her MFA from Columbia University in 2004. She lives and works in New York City.
