Female Figure, 2014

Jordan Wolfson’s work ranges from video, to installation, to still images. He creates arresting and provocative images, pulling on the languages of advertising, cartoons, computer generated imagery, and the internet. David Zwirner presented Wolfson’s first solo exhibition here in New York in March of 2014, which included the much discussed “Female Figure”, an uncanny robot engineered to search for eye-contact with the viewer, and to dance in a looped sequence of complex, seductive, and realistic movements. Wolfson’s work was included in the 6th Glasgow International in 2014 and he has had solo exhibitions at Chisenhale Gallery in London 2013, REDCAT Los Angeles, and the Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna. He received the prestigious Cartier Award from the Frieze Foundation in 2009. Wolfson lives in New York and Los Angeles.

Jordan will hold studio visits with Sam Cockrell and Sondra Perry.
