Legacy Art Gallery and Visual Arts Visiting Speaker series presents
Jennifer Stillwell
Recorded Jan 22, 2025
Jennifer Stillwell primarily works with sculpture and installation and her recent work is site-responsive. Found objects and manufactured materials are physically transformed in order to provoke imaginary possibilities – scale shifts, spaces collapse and meanings slip. She is currently completing a new body of work with the industrial activities around her studio space serving as the catalyst.
Stillwell received an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA from the University of Manitoba. Her work has been exhibited widely including large-scale installations at the Darling Foundry in Montreal and Triple Candie in New York. Other solo exhibitions include YYZ Artists’ Outlet in Toronto and a survey show at Plug In ICA in Winnipeg. She has attended residencies in Banff, Toronto, Rotterdam, Quebec, Montreal and Naples, and her work has been part of group exhibitions and video art screenings across the country and internationally. She has a permanent public sculpture installed in Winnipeg, within Treaty No. 1 Territory, over the left field wall of the city’s baseball park.
