Jennifer Steinkamp

Biography

Jennifer Steinkamp, a Los Angeles-based artist, employs computer animation and new media to create projection installations in order to explore ideas about architectural space, motion, and phenomenological perception. Her digitally animated works make use of the interplay between actual space and illusionistic space, thus creating environments in which the roles of the viewing subjects and the art objects become blurred. She has said: "As my ideas and the work developed, I found I could dematerialize architecture by combining light, space and movement." Steinkamp's work can be seen in public collections worldwide including, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, The Istanbul Modern in Turkey, the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, and the Towada Art Center in Japan, among other important private collections worldwide. In 2006, the Denver Art Museum commissioned an installation by the artist for its new Daniel Libeskind-designed building. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami; The Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Castilla y Leon, Spain; MASS MoCA; the 8th Annual Istanbul Biennial; and in Visual Music, curated by Kerry Brougher and Jeremy Strick at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC; and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA. A retrospective of her work opened at the San Jose Museum of Contemporary Art in 2006 and travelled to the Kemper Museum and Albright-Knox Gallery.
