Jennifer Vanderpool

“The Modern Series is an ongoing project of archival pigment prints on paper portraying Mid-century art, architecture, and culture. I create these compositions by abstracting and repurposing tourism, fashion, and design advertisements and interpolating them with my motifs to create imaginary realism compositions evoking Modern culture.”

Jennifer is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and writer based in Los Angeles. A native of Northeast Ohio, she draws on her immigrant Ukrainian family’s working-class stories as a lens questioning the social construction of place based on the influences of history, race, class, gender, and labor. She explores workers’ lives and cities through community-specific and site-responsive exhibitions.

Currently, she is the artist-in-residence at DéPOT, Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time, at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University, Montréal, Québec, Canada, a partnership with the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada and collaborating arts and humanities councils in Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

She has exhibited at L.A. Louver, Edward Cella Art and Architecture, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Riverside Art Museum, and the Wende Museum in Los Angelesand has had solo shows at museums and galleries in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Ukraine, Russia, and Vietnam.

Her exhibitions have been funded by the US-UK Fulbright Commission, Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, Ohio Arts Council, Kunstrådet: Danish Arts Council, Kulturrådet: Swedish Arts Council, and Malmö Stad. The National Endowment for the Arts co-awarded her a Challenge America grant for a California community art collaboration.

Jennifer holds an Interdisciplinary Art Critical Practices Ph.D. from UC Santa Barbara. Her research fields included Art Theory Praxis, Film & Media Studies, and Germanic, Slavic, and Semitic Studies. She earned her MFA from UCSB where she was a UC Regents Fellow and studied art history at Emory University.
