Biography

Timeline

Jennifer Bolande (b. 1957, Cleveland, OH) is a Los Angeles-based artist who came of age as part of New York’s Pictures Generation. Rooted in conceptualism, her work employs various media – primarily sculpture, photography and film – to explore the quiet affinities between particular sets of objects and images, and the mercurial meanings they manufacture. Reviewing an exhibition of her work at Metro Pictures, The New York Times’ critic Holland Cotter praised Bolande’s art for its “low-key wit, lively inventiveness, and subtle eye for metaphor.” Bolande was recently included in museum exhibitions such as Celebration of Our Enemies, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Readymades Are For Everyone, Swiss Institute, New York, NY; Brand New: Art and Commodity in the 1980s, Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC; Mixed Use Manhattan, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, ES; and This Will Have Been, Art Love and Politics in the 1980s, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL, which travelled to Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN, and ICA, Boston, MA. In 2010, a thirty-year retrospective of her work was organized by INOVA in Milwaukee, WI and later travelled to the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, PA and the Luckman Gallery at CSU, Los Angeles, CA. Her award-winning, site-specific project “Visible Distance/Second Sight’’ was featured in the inaugural Desert X in Coachella Valley, CA, in 2017. Bolande is Professor of New Genres in the Department of Art at UCLA.
