She has had solo exhibitions at Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts at The University of Alabam a at Birmingham\; the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia\; Chapter NY\, New York\; DOCUMENT\, Chicago\; and the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center\, among others. Her work was included in the Whitney Biennial 2026 and 2021 New Museum Triennial and has been included in group exhibitions at instit utions such as The San Jose Art Museum\, The Phoenix Art Museum\, Carnegie Museum of Art\, Pittsburgh\; the Whitney Museum of American Art\; the Asp en Art Museum\; the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden\, Netherland La Galerie\, c entre d’art contemporain\, Noisy-le-Sec\; and the Pinakothek der Moderne \, Munich. Nelson was a recipient of the 2023 Guggenheim Fellowship in Fin e Arts. \nErin Jane Nelson’s practice is grounded in photography sourced from her personal archive of found and original images. Raised—and late r based—in the American South\, Nelson travels throughout the region to photograph her surroundings and lived experiences. She intuitively merges these images onto unexpected support structures—including silk\, hand-cr afted quilts\, panels\, and ceramic inspired by vernacular craft objects a nd the history of collage—their multiple references engaging the nuanced anxiety\, conflict\, and humor of the present and immediate future. Her w ork plays with the hierarchies of value\, class\, and taste in contemporar y culture\, often embracing femme cuteness as a potent symbolic tool. Nels on’s newest works have expanded to include ceramic cameras that the arti st creates herself and uses to capture landscape photographs that further emphasize the material and conceptual foundation of her practice. \nA Carn ivorous Year\n2023\nPigment prints\, sequins\, and bio-based resin on glaz ed stoneware\n62 x 64 x 5 in.\nErin Jane Nelson\nPhotograph by Charles Ben ton\nCourtesy of the artist\, Chapter NY\, New York\, and DOCUMENT\, Chica go | Lisbon LAST-MODIFIED:20260831T190335Z LOCATION:Grace Street Theater\, 934 W.
