Jamie Isenstein

(*Born 1975, Portland, Oregon USA) confuses subject and object in her work, which spans sculpture, drawing, and performance, often turning objects into bodies and bodies into objects. Past solo exhibitions of Istenstein’s work include Institute of Arts, New York University, Gluck50, Milan, 2017, Joseloff Gallery, Hartford Art School, Hartford, Connecticut, 2017, Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College, Portland, 2015, and the Hammer Museum, 2007, among others. Isenstein participated in the Liverpool Biennial, 2010, and Greater New York, MoMA, PS1, New York. Her work is held in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
