Jen Mann’s “Metonymy” at Gallery Jones.
Opening tonight at Gallery Jones in Vancouver, British Columbia is artist Jen Mann’s solo exhibition, “METONYMY.”
Mann is diving deep into the culture of celebrity, social media and constructed personas. Through a variety of media (film, sculpture and primarily painting), Mann employs the masking tools available in this hyper-selfconscious age to question perception and ideas of identity. With herself as the subject, obfuscated by luminescent layers of distraction such as glossy wigs, theatrical make-up and the text of magazine covers, in “METONYMY” Mann challenges our definition of real as it relates to the self.
The exhibition will be on view until December 4th, 2019.
