Please join us for an artist talk with Jasmine Gregory
Moderated by curator Marijana Schneider
Thursday, 11.05.2023
Talk starts at 7 pm, doors open from 6.30 pm
The work of Zurich-based artist Jasmine Gregory (*1987 in Washington, D.C.) develops around various sets of motifs, artistic gestures as well as assemblages to explore the tensions of artistic production, history of paintings as well as subjectivity in how it circulates in institutional and commercial contexts, thereby addressing absurd and abstracted notions of culture and commodity. Her paintings and sculptures draw from a complex spectrum of historic and contemporary reference points, such as baroque still life, portraiture, advertisement. Recent solo exhibitions include Mommie Dearest, Instituto Svizzero (Milan), Heirlooms, King’s Leap (New York), Home Improvements, Park View / Paul Soto (Brussels), Trouble at Casa Amor, Karma International (Zurich). She is a finalist for the Swiss Art Awards and has a solo show coming up at CAPC Musée d’art Contemporain de Bordeaux in fall 2023.
