Winter Workspace 2012
Glyndor Gallery | February 14 – March 25, 2012

Matthew Jensen’s artistic practice investigates the ways in which public perception of landscapes affects how these spaces are experienced. Further developing his passion for exploration and hands-on engagement with nature, Jensen will create a collection-based project centered on walking, and the journey to, in, and around Wave Hill. His work often employs the use of photographs of natural sites throughout the city where people are not normally found. Jensen received his BA from Rice University and later his MFA from the University of Connecticut. His work has been shown in exhibitions at Chashama Gallery in New York and MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA, among other venues. Residencies include Lower Manhattan Cultural Council at Governors Island and the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, NH. He has been featured in numerous publications and his work The 49 States is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s permanent collection.
