As an emerging artist, Maeve Jackson is resistant to being limited to any single medium, though she prefers working with the platforms of video and photography. Her work has been shown in numerous group exhibitions in Milwaukee, as well as at the John Michael Kohler Art Center, LIFT Gallery at Greensboro College, NC, and the Brooklyn Women’s Film Festival. Jackson has also held artist residencies at Cow House Studios in Wexford, Ireland, and Hotel Pupik in Scheifling, Austria.
Through installation, video, and photography, Hanging Out the Laundry examines the titular task and unpacks its historical and personal implications. With the action of hanging laundry out to dry on the laundry line, Jackson strings together the history and memory of laundry. Her exhibition at Saint Kate recalls the intimate locale of a traditional linen closet, thus exposing the vulnerability associated with this dreamiest of household chores.
