Jessica Stockholder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jessica Stockholder (* 1959 in Seattle , Washington , United States ) is an American-Canadian object and installation artist who often combines colorful everyday objects to fill a room more or less.

Life

Jessica Stockholder was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1959. She grew up in Vancouver , Canada. She has both American and Canadian citizenship. From 1977 to 1979 she studied painting at the Camden School of Art in London and took a four-month course at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. She moved to the University of Victoria, also in Canada, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts there in 1982 . At first her own works were painted pictures, but she soon felt drawn to sculpture and installation. Her first large-scale installation, Installation in My Father's Back Yard , was created in 1983. From 1983 to 1985 she continued her studies at the University of British Columbia and Yale University in New Haven , Connecticut, USA. Yale awarded her a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture.

As a freelance artist, she received the National Endowment for the Arts Scholarship in 1988 and the John Solomon Guggenheim Fellowship Award in 1996 in the “Visual Art” category. She lived in New Haven for several years, where she held a position as Director of Graduate Studies in Sculpture at Yale University from 1999. In 2001 she was awarded the August Seeling Prize from the Freundeskreis Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum eV, Duisburg. Also in 2007 the Lucelia Artist Award from the Smithsonian American Art Museum . She has lived, worked and taught in Chicago , Illinois since 2011 .

Jessica Stockholder, who is one of the artists who Rolf Ricke has sponsored, has been recognized as a pioneer of contemporary installation art since the early 1990s .

Stockholder uses functional everyday objects and unprocessed raw materials, all of which are already colored or given a coat of paint by the artist in order to combine them. Familiar objects and strange looking accessories can harmonize subtly or create sharp contrasts. Such extensive arrangements can fill entire rooms and sometimes extend into areas outside of the room. They are described as “painting in the third dimension”, “spatialized collages ”, “walk-in spatial images” or “walk-in color landscapes”. Due to the accessibility, the walking viewer can suddenly become part of the work of art himself. He is attracted by plots of promise, that is, small substitute paradises like in department stores, or unfathomable hodgepodge, as magically interlocked as in dreams, or, to put it more simply, universes of forms - once perceptible, at other times blurred. Stockholder's works are energetic , cacophonic and idiosyncratic , but a closer look reveals the conscious use of color and a considered composition and thus a controlled mitigation of the supposed disordered state. The works are given lyrical and poetic titles to match the spaciousness and colourfulness . They were created in Canada, the USA and Europe and are often immobile object arrangements, which makes Stockholm a “ nomadic artist”.

Style descriptions

“What inspires and convinces me about the installations by Jessica Stockholder is above all her ability to combine and condense the constellations of the most diverse objects of everyday life into a superordinate unit, in the installation space, by means of decisive, safe, expressive and abstract painting to create three-dimensional images that integrate the real exhibition space into the work. In a charged dialectic , she treats object and color, material and abstraction in analogy to body and mind. It reflects the crossings of sculpture and painting from Schwitters to Rauschenberg and with John Chamberlain , Donald Judd , Frank Stella and others, only to arrive spontaneously and only in the process of creating new and completely independent solutions. Every installation that only becomes accessible when walking around and through transcends strange stories of everyday materials. "

- Christoph Brockhaus : From the preface to the publication “Jessica Stockholder”, 2002

“The curved outline of a floor lamp, the geometric edges of a refrigerator, the velvety texture of a plush carpet , the concentric shape of a fan, the bright colors of a box full of oranges - all these phenomena become form and color events in the artfully calculated interplay with other objects. Decisive for the artistic selection from the fund of everyday life and reality are the sensual properties of things, only secondarily an acquired cultural knowledge about the meanings attached to them. Your choice is primarily based on shape, color and fabric qualities and the particular aesthetic economy in certain work contexts. Even if Stockholder does not rule out any subject area as artistically useless, not all objects in the world of objects arouse the same pleasure in looking and working, not all have the same visual or haptic intensity. The artist's tendency towards artificiality and kitsch cannot be overlooked ; Glitter and glamor are just as allowed as natural things and products from the world of technology. "

- Pia Müller-Tamm : Publication “Jessica Stockholder”, 2002

"Jessica Stockholder's sprawling constructions have played a crucial role in expanding the dialogue between sculpture and painting and form and space. Within her work, the artist merges seemingly disparate, everyday objects to create holistic, colorful installations. Stockholder employs quotidian goods such as plastic bags and containers, extension cords, lumber, plywood, carpets and furniture, drawing attention to the aesthetic and formal qualities of these often overlooked items while avoiding overt symbolism and narrative storytelling. With deliberate placement and the eye of a master colorist, she maps out a constructed world informed by numerous artistic traditions, including abstract expressionism, color field painting, installation art, and minimalism.
