Monthly discussions about art with some of the most important cultural practitioners today: Jesse Jones takes inspiration from female saints such as Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo’s ‘Mary Magdalene’.
Jesse Jones is a Dublin-based artist. Jones’ practice is multi-platform, working in film, performance and sculpture through speculative feminisms and myth. She represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale 2017 and has had solo shows at Mimosa House, London, Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh, and the Guggenheim, Bilbao. Jones is currently exhibiting a new body of work at Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, entitled ‘Mirror Martyr Mirror Moon’, a 16mm film installation made in response to Artemisia Gentileschi’s masterpiece ‘Self-portrait as St Catherine of Alexandria’ (1616), as part of our National Treasures tour.
