Press Release

Jasmine Gregory approaches painting as a spatial practice, maneuvering tightly rendered canvases into sprawling sculptural tableaux. Her works appropriate advertisements for wealth management firms and luxury watch companies, with their glossy photographic surfaces rendered by hand in oil. The advertisements’ coy use of second-person address (“You never really own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation”) become satirical provocations to consider questions of patrimony and preservation. Commingling paintings with wine bottles, vitrines, plastic bags, tinsel, and studio refuse—to name a few materials in her repertoire—she weaves scenarios whose ambiguous drama reflects the difficulty of digesting, and producing within, hyper-saturated cultural landscapes.

Who Wants to Die for Glamour, Gregory’s first institutional exhibition in the US, features a focused selection of new works including a large-scale, site-specific installation. Extending her interest in the material histories of image-making and display, the exhibition considers transparency, fragmentation, and dissolution in relation to both artistic production and racial capitalism.

Jasmine Gregory: Who Wants to Die for Glamour is organized by Jody Graf, Assistant Curator.
