JESSICA STOCKHOLDER

With installations itʼs the building, the architecture, or you might say itʼs the place that I work on top of; with the smaller pieces I work on top of or in relation to stuff that I collect. —Jessica Stockholder

For twenty-five years, Jessica Stockholder has challenged our relationship to the world around us through making objects. Stockholderʼs work transforms materials from our daily lives into painterly sculptural objects and installations. From the large-scale installations of Color Jam in Chicago and Peer Out to See at the Palacio de Cristal, Madrid, to the intimate works of Sex in the Office and LIFT, Stockholder captures our eye with an array of visual moments that coalesce into a singular composition.
