Robert Mann Gallery pleased to present Jennifer Williams: Ladders, an exhibition of the artist's life- size, wall-mounted prints. Subversive in their utilitarian simplicity, Williams' ladders stretch over walls and onto ceilings, performing trompe l'oeil tricks or abstracting through geometric gymnastics. Individual ladders also take on distinct personalities—some battered, dinged, and colorful; some sleek, slim, and stainless-steel. Tottering or firmly planted, short or tall, old or new: each is undeniable in its unexpected charisma.
Williams received her MFA from Goldsmiths College in London and her BFA from Cooper Union in New York, where she currently teaches. Her work has been widely exhibited throughout the country, and honors include the A.I.R. Gallery Fellowship and the NARS Foundation International Artist Residency, as well as the 2008 Juror's Grand Prize at the 4th Annual Alternative Processes show. Her work has been featured in publications like The New Yorker, Excerpt Magazine, Title Magazine, Photography Quarterly, and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. She lives and works in New York City.
