Round 20: Maggie Jensen "Attitudes of Humility"

The curator of the Cage Match project and host for this podcast, Aryel René Jackson, interviews Maggie Jensen for the first episode of season 2. In each of her installations, Maggie Jensen becomes involved in different systems or aesthetics of authority, whether the art institution, a natural history archive, or extractive resource infrastructures. In this episode, Jensen discusses the process as she describes the material and history of the "model", "index", and found object in "Round 20: "Attitudes of Humility". Jensen talks about making requests of a cultural archive to access data about Nancy Holt's 1976 "Sun Tunnels" and how the process informs how we might think about displaying objects. Jensen's practice asks us to consider what paths and limits are revealed about the internal logic institutions related to the Land Art genre, water main casings, and drainage pipes. https://www.maggiejensen.com/

Installation materials consist of unaltered HDPE industrial culvert pipe; platforms of cement board and wood; cast concrete of water main casings broken by extreme heat-related pressure; a curved wall mapped with a reproduced constellation used by artist Nancy Holt in the 1976 landwork "Sun Tunnels".
