Jenny Perlin
Sept. 20 – 24, 2021The films, animations, and drawings of the artist Jenny Perlin are steeped in the investigation of how the culturally mundane, quirky, and quotidian reflect and become part of the maelstrom of history. She excavates and reveals the curiosities inherent in our shared hopes, fears, myths, and misunderstandings. In 2016 she began traveling from her home in Brooklyn to explore the literal underground of the American Midwest, and has created a feature film about the dwellers and builders of homes in subterranean munitions bunkers and former missile silos. More recently, she has been publishing a weekly roundup of global news stories on her Instagram as a way of exploring how niche and offbeat stories often expose greater overarching cultural themes of the day.
She is also the founder of the Hoosac Institute, an experimental platform curating works of text and image that don’t fit conventional disciplinary narratives.
Her films have been shown at numerous venues including the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney, MoMA, Mass MoCA, the Guangzhou Triennial, IFC Center, Berlin and Rotterdam film festivals, the Drawing Center, and The Kitchen, NY. Perlin’s works are in public collections including MoMA, The Whitney Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and numerous private collections.
