Artists 2011
Jenine Marsh
Jenine Marsh is an emerging installation artist in Calgary. She has shown work in the Marion Nicoll Gallery, collaborated on Truck's Camper Patch Project, and helped establish 809, where she is on the board of directors. Jenine received her BFA in 2007 from the Alberta College of Art and Design and has since conducted practice-based research in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Jenine's work results from a fascination in artifice and its role in the construction of a subjective world. The imagery and implications of conservatory gardens and science-fiction utopias provide the setting for her multi-media installation topiarium, where the natural, man-made, real and make-believe worlds reveal themselves to be inseparable and occasionally indistinguishable. Here she will conduct her experiments and explorations, while always asking "is an imaginary view of the world any less valid than a real one?"
