"Jennifer Packer: The Eye Is Not Satisfied With Seeing" @whitneymuseum
Oct. 30, 2021–April 17, 2022
www.whitney.org/exhibitions
Reposted from @whitneymuseum The Eye Is Not Satisfied With Seeing is the largest survey of Packer's practice to date. Her intimate renderings of friends, family, and flowers evoke the art historical genres of portraiture and still life, while also highlighting the politics of representation...
Combining observation, memory, and improvisation, Packer's intimate renderings of friends and family along with her floral tableaux recast the traditional genres of portraiture and still life. Her paintings, most recently seen at the Whitney in the 2019 Biennial, slide between the fidelity of depiction and the freedom of abstraction.
The exhibition, initiated by @serpentineuk, is on view through April 17, 2022 in our eighth floor galleries.
