JEANNE MEDINA
a solo exhibition
October 13 - November 17, 2018
Opening Reception October 13, 2018, 5-8pm
Jeanne Medina is an artist working between textile, fashion, and performance, and is currently Visiting Assistant Professor in Fibers at Oregon College of Art and Craft. She received her BFA in Fiber and Material Studies and Post-Baccalaureate in Fashion, Body & Garment from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), and her MFA in Fiber from Cranbrook Academy of Art where she was awarded the Toby Devan Lewis Award. In 2018 she was awarded the Fountainhead Fellowship in Craft & Material Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).
Her most recent exhibitions include the Ancestral Offerings exhibition at Reynolds Gallery in Richmond, VA; the Remnant Accumulation exhibition at Sediment Arts in Richmond, VA; the Discursive exhibition at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum in Eugene, OR; University of Oregon Whitebox Gallery in Portland, OR; Form & Concept in Santa Fe, NM; the Fiber Face 4 exhibition in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; and the High Fiber Symposium in Sisters, OR. Her work is in the permanent collection at Cranbrook Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills, MI.
Medina considers her textile production as a process of decolonization through which she grapples with identity, ancestral trauma, and the fixed and fluid spaces of the body. She is interested in the language, meaning, and knowledge embodied in textiles which have been devalued by colonial hierarchies over time.
Inquiries and appointments to visit the gallery outside of our regular Saturday hours are very welcome. During the October/November 2018 shows, contact thealicegallery@gmail.com, or Julia Heineccius at juliatherese@gmail.com / 206-920-0071
