Jennifer Bornstein - Profile

Since the late 1990s, Bornstein has worked with serialized image-making as a means to record her observations, interventions, or encounters with people engaged in the public and private routines of everyday life, such as work, play, leisure, and commuting. Her work explores the possibility of setting up physical and conceptual interactions between people, and between bodies and objects, which heighten our awareness of the relationship between spectator and performer. In 2003, while researching for a new film work, Bornstein spent hours each day at the New York Public Library, where she became interested in various 19th-century publications as well as engravings and intaglio prints. She began to make etchings as studies for her films and other works and discovered a fascination for the largely obsolete medium of intaglio printing. That same year, Bornstein began teaching herself how to create works of art using this printing process, which she describes as "an antiquated, labor-intensive technology of image-reproduction." Bornstein's copperplate etchings record her observations of different people she has encountered or studied, including her roommate, friends, students, librarians, a projectionist, a fellow bus rider, and various cultural figures-each subject is portrayed in a situation, activity, or position reflective of their public or private life. Some of the portraits are also based on photographic source materials, further reflecting her interest in dissolving the distinctions between fact and fiction. (Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)
