Maggie Jensen
Through installations of sculpture, sound, text, drawing, and performance, Jensen negotiates colonialist forms of monument-making against a landscape filled with climate grief and self-interested politics. She uses poetics and abstraction to express miscommunication and doubt within the predetermined spaces of European figural and modernist traditions, humanistic vocabularies, and privatized architectures. Jensen holds a BFA in art history from Massachusetts College of Art & Design, and an MFA in visual art from the University of Chicago. She is a recipient of a 2019-2020 Humanities Teaching Fellowship in the Visual Arts at the University of Chicago, and a 2020-2022 Core Program Fellowship at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. This fall, she will be a visiting artist at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, CO, and in the spring of 2023 will attend the NARS International Artist Residency Program in Brooklyn, NY.
