Jeanette Mundt

Jeanette Mundt’s dynamic, formally omnivorous practice mirrors the ever-changing velocity of culture. Her lush paintings freely tap a variety of input, ranging from Google image searches, Flickr accounts, magazines, and personal photographs to her own exhibition documentation. Each series that she creates begins as an attempt to confront the general nature of images on the internet, particularly the seemingly endless mutability that results when an image enters the digital world. In her different bodies of work, Mundt combines iconic references with others that are more personal and intimate in her quest to perpetually reconfigure the image—gesturing towards how our understanding is always in flux and therefore we can’t possibly be consistent in our seeing, in our psychic space. Jeanette Mundt (b. 1982, USA) lives and works in New York. Her solo exhibition at G2 Kunsthalle, Leipzig opens in June 2026. Mundt has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions at venues including TANK, Shanghai; New Museum, New York; Museion, Bolzano; G2 Kunsthalle, Leipzig; Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster; Musée d'art Contemporain, Bordeaux; David Zwirner, New York; Company, New York; Overduin and Co., Los Angeles; Gavin Brown's enterprise, New York; and Bridget Donahue, New York.
