Suzanne Jackson: What Is Love
Tickets & Info
Tickets & Info
What Is Love is the first major museum retrospective devoted to the work of painter Suzanne Jackson. Developed in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition celebrates Jackson’s multi-decade career through more than 80 works of art that reflect her singular vision and distinct use of color, light, and structure. Co-organized with San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), What Is Love spans six decades, from Jackson’s early ethereal compositions on canvas that layer luminous washes of paint and depict figures intertwined with nature to recent three-dimensional paintings that suspend acrylic paint midair. Looking at influences beyond the artist’s studio, What Is Love examines how Jackson’s paintings have been informed by her engagement with nature; her experiences as a dancer, poet, and theater designer; and her collaborations with radical artist communities.
The exhibition is curated by Jenny Gheith, Curator and Interim Head of Painting and Sculpture, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, with Taylor Jasper, Susan and Rob White Assistant Curator, Visual Art, Walker Art Center. Curatorial support is provided by Auriel Garza, Curatorial Assistant, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Laurel Rand‐Lewis, Curatorial Fellow, Visual Arts, Walker Art Center.
