Workspace 2010-2011

Sara Jordenö is a Swedish-born, NYC-based artist. Jordenö studied at Malmö Art Academy and received an MFA from UCLA in 2003. Jordenö's projects take the forms of film/video, text and photography, which are presented in visual archives. Her recent work involves found objects and animation, using materials such as graphite and plastic. Central themes are issues of agency, labor time and the habitual acts of everyday life.
