Jessica Angel is a visual artist living and working between
Bogota and New York. Her recent and upcoming projects aim to foster
cross-disciplinary initiatives. She was invited to represent Colombia as an
artist in residence at the 2014 Vancouver Biennale, where she will develop a
project enabling
forms of collaboration among sciences, philosophy, music, art and new media. In 2013 she organized "Pintura Abierta", a collaborative project that prompted the
circulation of ideas about painting, a reflection laboratory that gathered different
proposals by Colombian painters by means of on-site paintings. The project took
place in the Parqueadero space of the Museo del Banco de la República.
While living in New
York City Jessica has been awarded the Teaching-Artist Residency at the Cooper
Union, the BRIC Media Arts Fellowship (2012), City Walls with the Brooklyn Arts
Council (2010) and the BOFFO Artist in Residence (2009). She has exhibited solo
at Juan Salas Gallery (2012), The Museum of Modern Art of Bucaramanga (2008),
at the Salamanca University Cultural Center in Bogotá (2008), at The Project
Room of Los Andes University in Bogota and at Casas Riegner Gallery (2006 and
2009). Her work has been exhibited both locally and abroad in cities like
Bogota, New York, Miami, Washington, Rosario, La Paz and Mexico. In 2007 she
received an honorable mention at the 4th International Biennial SIART, Bolivia
and at the 1st Drawing Biennial of the Americas, Mexico (2006).
