About
Gabrielle Jennings is a Los Angeles writer, artist and educator whose work mines our collective unconscious, often through appropriation. Jennings works across media, most recently concentrating on publishing through her imprint Blue Plate Special, and producing gif-video works. Her work has appeared on Writers’ Kingston Online #29 and 7x7la, and her poetry has been published in Olney Magazine, Fence and Terror House. Jennings teaches in the Graduate Art program at ArtCenter College of Design and edited a collection of essays for University of California Press: Abstract Video: The Moving Image in Contemporary Art. This groundbreaking volume includes a diverse set of essays centered around the question of abstraction in the moving image arts.
The artist’s solo show "Country Roads" at MiM Gallery, Los Angeles, paired the ‘back to the land’ movement of the ‘70s, with tv shows from the same era like Little House on the Prairie and Green Acres. The artist has shown nationally and internationally and has been artist in residence at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin and 200 Gertrude Street Artist Spaces, Melbourne. She’s been honored with support from such organizations as the Art Matters Fellowship, Philip Morris Kunstforderung, and the Samsung Faculty Enrichment Grant. Among others, writers Harold Fricke, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, Cay Sophie Rabinowitz, and Jan Tumlir have written about her work.
