Employing everyday goods such as plastic bags and containers, extension cords, lumber, plywood, carpets
and furniture, Stockholder draws attention to the aesthetic 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, and minimalism.
P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center
JESSICA STOCKHOLDER: OF STANDING FLOAT ROOTS IN THIN AIR
February 2, 2006 through May 1, 2006
Opening Day Celebration: February 26, 2006 from noon to 6
Utilizing mass-produced objects and found materials, Jessica Stockholder created a large-scale sculpture for P.S.1’s two-story duplex gallery. The composition incorporates fabric and household furniture illuminated by
a configuration of plastic tubs and light bulbs suspended from the ceiling. Viewable from above, the
sculpture alludes to a theatrical stage where the artist has enacted her work.
