Explore Jennifer Packer: The Eye Is Not Satisfied With Seeing during this virtual tour with Curatorial Assistant Ambika Trasi. Featuring over thirty works from the past decade, the exhibition is the largest survey of Packer’s practice to date. Her intimate renderings of friends, family, and flowers evoke the art historical genres of portraiture and still life, while also highlighting the politics of representation.
Her paintings, most recently seen at the Whitney in the 2019 Biennial, combine observation, memory, and improvisation. Trasi will share an overview of works in the exhibition, discuss the development of the installation, and answer questions following the tour.
