Corner Measure with Red Bar
Jennie C. Jones American
Not on view
Drawing on her immersion in Black avant-garde music, Jennie C. Jones uses sound to respond to the legacy of minimalism. Here, the architectural felt she affixes to canvas absorbs sound and affects the acoustic properties of the gallery environment, while the red bar at the edge of the composition refers to an element of musical notation. Just as the use of felt pushes Jones’s paintings into the realm of sculpture, so too does its intrusion into the space of the viewer by wrapping around the corner of a wall. These formal strategies recast the work midway between painting and sculpture, like so many "specific objects" of minimalism.
