Jennifer Mills is a performance artist who lives and works in Chicago, where she currently teaches in the Contemporary Practices Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Mills' work centers on the personalization and creative dissemination of multiples. By designing systems of creating and distributing original art objects for free or at a low cost, Mills creates a playful parody of the art market, blurring gallery and retail conventions. She caters to brows low and high, and their preferred price points, with paintings and assemblages that are equally inspired by 99 cent stores, newsstand tabloids and contemporary painting.
As a reflection of her practice, Low Middle High features hundreds of separate pieces with fluctuating price tags, sometimes as low as one penny. Visitors to the Opening will be invited to throw darts at the art in the You Could Win Painting Series!, find great values on miniature paintings in the Off the Rack Series, and catch up on the latest Hollywood gossip while everyone thinks you are enjoying fine art, with the Tabloid Painting Series.
