Inside the Art, Outside Ourselves is a series of workshops that each invite you to spend time reflecting on a specific artwork from our main exhibition, Paradise, curated by Graham Feyl & J. Sova. Through guiding prompts and conversation, we encourage you to dig deeper into the work, think meaningfully about the ideas presented, and to respond with drawing or writing exercises. Artists to be featured include Aaron McIntosh, Angie Jennings, & Yu Yan. This month, we’ll be looking at Angie Jennings’ work and talking about automatism & the unconscious mind, visibility, perception & spirit, and existing in-between worlds. Angie Jennings (she/her) is an interdisciplinary project-based artist working in the realms of painting, drawing, performance, video and sculpture. She often investigates the poetics of visibility through strategies of surrealism and abstraction. Formations of new mythologies linked to agency and mysticism are frequently employed. Her works have been exhibited at the Miller Institute of Contemporary Art at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, San Diego, CA, the Erie Art Museum, Erie, PA, Lehman College, Bronx, NY, Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, Coaxial Art Foundation, Los Angeles, CA, Human Resources, Los Angeles, CA, Abode Gallery,Los Angeles, CA, Franconia Sculpture Park, Shafer, MN and the Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson, Tucson, Arizona, among others. Jennings received her MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California San Diego, and a BS in Art Education from South Dakota State University. Currently, she’s an Assistant Professor at Tulane University.
