Jennifer Jo McGregor

Jennifer Jo McGregor’s project-oriented art practice draws on research, experimentation, and curiosity about relationship to place, landscape, and ecology. By utilizing what’s at hand, often textiles and paper, she creates objects that might form installations or be used as part of daily life. Trained as an artist, she approaches curating and arts planning through that lens of a creator. A vital force in the New York art scene, she produced a creative ecosystem of embodied, site-responsive exhibitions and performances at Wave Hill for two decades and advanced opportunities for artists to work in public spaces nationwide since the directing city’s Percent for Art Program in the 1980s.
