Jennie C. Jones (BFA 1991) was recently profiled by the New York Times in a piece that highlights her creative practice, which incorporates the use of acoustic panels in abstract painting. Inspired by punk rock, the history of Modernism, and Black sonic avant-garde, Jones creates works that explore the relationship between hearing and seeing in shows like Dynamics, her solo exhibition currently on display at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. She was also recently interviewed about the show on the Artnet podcast The Art Angle. “I feel like my work is more courageous now,” Jones told the Times. “I feel like I’m in my own skin.”
