Jennie C. Jones, Josephine Halvorson, Leslie Hewitt

Sikkema Jenkins & Co. presents a group exhibition of work by 3 gallery and APT artists Josephine Halvorson, Leslie Hewitt, and Jennie C. Jones.

Josephine Halvorson makes paintings on-site and in real time, transcribing duration, environment and her own perceptions through the medium of paint.

Leslie Hewitt uses the language of photography to examine temporality, the complexity and strength of memory, and how we experience or interpret lapses in historical narratives. The Still Life series reads as both photograph and sculptural intervention – the artwork is positioned leaning on the wall, changing the way we perceive and physically encounter the image.

Jennie C. Jones' work exposes the connections between conceptual and avant-garde African American music, and the cultural, political, and historical ideas surrounding Minimalism and Abstraction. Her "acoustic paintings" constructed from industrial sound absorbing panels suggest both the aural and physical dynamics of listening, while formally hearkening the geometry of music notation -- in particular that of the “bar line” found at the end of a measure.
