April 19, 2014 - May 18, 2014: New work at Ortega y Gasset Projects →

Sacredesecrated (for Rachel Carson) will debut as part of a five-person group exhibition titled Landlessness, curated by Carrie Hott.  Artists include: Becca Albee, Amanda Curreri, Nina Elder, Pablo Guardiola, and myself.  

From the website: Ortega y Gasset Projects is pleased to present LANDLESSNESS, an exhibition organized by Carrie Hott featuring work by Becca Albee, Amanda Curreri, Nina Elder, Pablo Guardiola, and Jennifer Nagle Myers. Departing from the concept of landlessness as presented by Herman Melville in Moby Dick, the artworks in this exhibition navigate the unanchored states of a lack of ground, an aerial view, and a collapsed sense of time and space.

March 12, 2014: New work debuts for the Exuberant Politics Symposium →

Very excited to announce that new work Protect Our Parks, Pass It On! will premiere tonight at PS1 in Iowa City as part of the year-long Exuberant Politics symposium. This new work is a 30-minute performance for 10 people to perform, directed by Willie Barbour.  The piece consists of ten 3-minute testimonies, provided originally by members of the public during a public campaign in Pittsburgh, PA to save our county parks from being fracked.  These 3-minute testimonies will be read by Iowa City citizens and members of the group 100 Grannies, as a way to share our struggles in Pennsylvania with Iowa in a new, updated way.

March 9, 2014 : The Never-Ending Book of Women's Rights is in The Whitney Houston Biennial! →

Very excited to announce that the Never-Ending Book of Women's Rights will have its New York debut as part of the incredible Whitney Houston Biennial!  This biennial, curated by the artist C. Finley, includes the work of over 75 international women artists.  It is a one-night only affair, and I am thrilled that this book is part of it.  To celebrate, I have created a new chapter for the book that is dedicated to Whitney Houston.  This will be what is displayed in New York.

February 7, 2014 - April 30, 2014 : Solo Exhibition at the Pittsburgh Center for the Art →

Pittsburgh Center for the Arts
Solo Exhibition: Women in Time
Featuring all new work including: The Never-Ending Book of Women's Rights; First Place Woman in six color photographs; chairs and simple readers; and 3 drawings

There will be a series of workshops and talks presented four Sundays called "Sundays at the Gallery" which will include an artist talk, a gathering of women and song, workshops on making slate pages, and adding to the Never-Ending book with your own contributions

From the website: This series of sculptures and photographs is a tribute to the unknown women who've gone through life unrecognized, under-appreciated, and never awarded a trophy. Myers, an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Pittsburgh, uses discarded trophies and other materials to embellish and reclaim a place for those never rewarded. Myers received her MFA from the University of Iowa. She says the work continues to renounce and abolish the lingering concept that women are inferior to men.
