We’re pleased to present a talk with Malia Jensen, an Oregon-based artist featured in our new exhibition, The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. Jensen’s multimedia art practice focuses on natural cycles, the human form, and connections with nature.
Malia Jensen lives and works in Portland, OR. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at venues and institutions including the Melbourne International Arts Festival (Melbourne, Australia), Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (Milwaukee, WI), Portland Art Museum (Portland, OR), Mesa Arts Center (Mesa, AZ), Marian Goodman Gallery (London, England), Richard Gray Gallery (Chicago, IL), and Cristin Tierney Gallery (New York, NY), among many others.
She has completed numerous public commissions in the Northwestern United States, and her work is held in many public and private collections.
Featuring more than 100 works ranging from drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, sculptures, and ceramics by 37 artists such as: John Baldessari, Enrique Chagoya, Alex Katz, Alison Saar, Lorna Simpson, Andy Warhol, and four Oregon-based artists, Katherine Ace, Chris Antemann, Malia Jensen, and Sherrie Wolf, The Art of Food showcases how some of the most prominent artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have considered this universal subject.
This program is free and open to the public.
Support for this exhibition and related education and outreach programs has been made possible by a grant from Jordan Schnitzer through The Harold and Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation.
