Mandy Lee Jandrell, 1975: Vibration (Installation Detail)
Mandy Lee Jandrell was shortlisted for OPEN14 and selected by our three Trainee Curators to appear in our outdoor exhibition in Victoria Gardens.
Born in Pretoria, South Africa, Jandrell graduated with an MA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths in 2003. She has exhibited and published widely, and is currently Course Leader for Photography at Southampton Solent University. She has just completed a collaboration with artist Melanie Stidolph entitled Everything Eventually Connects at the Solent Showcase.
The exhibition has arisen from conversations between the artists that have developed over the last eight years. Over time, they have developed a way of interrogating one another’s practice, finding ways to articulate and question their ideas and their increasingly experimental outcomes. You can read their fascinating blog here.
