Jennie C. Jones: Compilation

Edited and text by Valerie Cassel Oliver. Foreword by Bill Arning. Text by Hilton Als, Huey Copeland, George E. Lewis.

The work of Jennie C. Jones (born 1968) spans multiple mediums, from paintings, sculptures and works on paper to audio collages and immersive sound installations. Jones employs the visual languages of abstraction and minimalism to draw out the parallels and disjunctions between the history of modernism and the history of African American music, particularly jazz. This volume documenting the artist’s midcareer survey at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston includes many of her best-known works alongside new paintings and a site-specific installation. The book, whose stunning design references the formal qualities of Jones’ work, includes an extensive plate selection alongside essays by Valerie Cassel Oliver, Hilton Als and George Lewis, and an interview between Jones and art historian Huey Copeland.

"Bold, Double, Bar Line (variation #1)" (2013) is reproduced from Jennie C. Jones: Compilation.

Congratulations Jennie C. Jones, on view at the Guggenheim!

"8 Track" (2007) is reproduced from Jennie C. Jones: Compilation, a book that we are delighted to revisit this weekend, in honor of the artist's one-person show at the Guggenheim. "Jennie C. Jones is a conceptual artist whose works on paper, on canvas, and in sound frame questions about the estrangement of the black avant-garde amid the radical shifts in the visual arts that took place in the mid-twentieth century," Valerie Cassel Oliver writes. "Her artistic experimentation, which swivels progressively and seamlessly from two and three dimensions to immersive sound installations, engages in dialogues that are aesthetically and politically astute. Not only does Jones use the language of one of the most iconic and ideological shifts in twentieth-century painting, she also interrogates the medium from the inside out, adapting the underpinnings of early conceptualism to the field of painting and dragging its ideological notions of representation onto the terrain of gender and race." continue to blog
