SUMMARY:Jenny Wu: 👀🎨🏜
DESCRIPTION:👀🎨🏜 by Jenny Wu is a solo exhibition at the culmination of her 2018-2022 Touchstone Foundation for the Arts Fellowship. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, June 8 from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm. \nWu transforms materials from their original forms and purpose to present them within new contexts—in this exhibition\, she presents sculptural work created from liquid paint. To create this series\, she pours a thick coat of\nlatex paint one color at a time on a glass surface\, letting each color dry completely\, and repeating the process many times. She then cuts the dried paint to reveal the layers of cross-section\, which is used to assemble sculptures on a flat surface. \n“The cross-section juxtaposes order and chaos: the consistent order of paint from old to new\, and the imperfection of subtle differences in thicknesses\,” Wu says. “Each piece follows a specific pattern\, uniting the differences to present a systematic imagery. These works question our basic assumptions about what we consider paintings can be and what sculptures can be.” \nalso includes her ongoing project Art for the People\, ’tü\, a participatory art project that addresses diversity and inequality issues. Wu gives away individually made small sculptures\, and asks for a photo of where the recipient installs it. Now in its eighth year\, she has given away more than a thousand pieces of original art. “This project is rooted in my family’s low socioeconomic background. My parents believed the idea that only the educated can understand art and only the wealthy can afford art\, so this project challenges such ideas by making art accessible to a broader audience. It also questions the notion of monetary value as the only measure of artistic success by highlighting the experience one can have with art” says Wu. \nJenny Wu is an artist and educator. She is currently a visiting assistant professor in studio art at Trinity College in Hartford\, CT. Wu was born in Nanjing\, China and holds a B.A. from William Smith College in Studio Art and Architectural Studies\, and an M.F.A. in Studio Art from American University. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the world\, and she has been awarded numerous Artist-In-Residence and fellowship programs.
