Speaker Bio

Multi-media artist Jamie Isenstein’s work considers perception, subjectivity and the slippery nature of animate and inanimate existence. In her often humorous work differences between fact and fiction, subject and object and life and death are often blurred. Whether using sculpture, video, performance, painting or photography to convey her intentions, at the heart of Isenstein’s work is a desire to probe the formation of knowledge, how we come to understand our world and what it means to be human today. Isenstein has shown her work nationally and internationally including at The Whitney Museum of Art, New York City, The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, Tate Liverpool, UK, PS1, New York, Palais de Tokyo, Paris and ICA Chattanooga. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
