Jen Leibowitz


Master of Fine Arts in Studio, Sculpture

Jen’s artistic practice seeks to introduce the imaginary into reality, creating a realm of increased possibility and calling into question the rational premises from which logic develops. Mementos of fictitious places acquire the role of talismans, protective amulets against the charms of consumption. The smuggled fragments infiltrate collections of ubiquitous objects, highlighting their omnipresence and demanding the observer to consider the aberration: What are its possible origins and what does it imply about the things it pretends to emulate?
