Biographys
Gabrielle Jennings is a Los Angeles-based artist, writer, and educator whose work explores the collective unconscious through various media, including gif-videos, artist’s books, and found poetry. Over the past thirty years, her work has been featured in publications such as Writers’ Kingston Online #29, 7x7la, Olney Magazine, Fence, and Terror House. A California native, Jennings earned her BFA from the University of California, San Diego. She also studied Film and Critical Studies at Paris-Sorbonne University before completing her MFA at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena.
Jennings' recent projects include Silent Spring Redux, a video homage to Rachel Carson’s 1962 environmental warning, and her solo exhibition Country Roads at MiM Gallery in Los Angeles, which juxtaposed the 1970s ‘back to the land’ movement with television shows like Little House on the Prairie and Green Acres. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with residencies at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin and 200 Gertrude Street Artist Spaces in Melbourne. She has received support from organizations such as the Art Matters Fellowship, Philip Morris Kunstförderung, and the Samsung Faculty Enrichment Grant.
For three decades, Jennings has been a faculty member in the MFA Art program at ArtCenter College of Design, where she currently serves as Associate Chair. She is also the editor of Abstract Video: The Moving Image in Contemporary Art, a collection of essays published by University of California Press that explores the role of abstraction in contemporary moving image arts.
