JESSICA SARAH RINLAND

Jessica Sarah Rinland (b. 1987) is an Argentine-British artist whose work explores and interrogates archives and institutions, the tactile labour that occurs within them, their replicas and representations, the scientific world whose knowledge informs them, and how that knowledge is constructed, complicated, and disseminated. Her work culminates primarily in film as well as in installation, photography, sculpture, and artists books.

Rinland’s work has been exhibited internationally, including solo exhibitions at Tabakalera, San Sebastián, Spain (2024), and the University of Tennessee Downtown Gallery, Knoxville, USA (2021), as well as group exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, USA (2022), Southwark Park Galleries, London, UK (2021), Taipei Biennial, Taiwan (2020), National Gallery Singapore (2021), Somerset House, London (2016), and New Contemporaries (2011).

She is a recipient of numerous prizes including Special Mention at Locarno (2024) and San Sebastian Film Festival (2024), Best Film at DocumentaMadrid (2019, 2024) , Primer Premio at Bienale de Imagen en Movimiento Buenos Aires (2019), and Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Schnitzer prize for excellence in the arts (2017). She has had retrospectives of her films at Flaherty Film Seminar, Anthology Film Archives, Open City Documentary Festival, Doc’s Kingdom. Residencies include DAAD, Camargo Foundation, Film Studies Center at Harvard University, Somerset House Studios, MacDowell, and Ikusmira Berriak. Her films are held in the British Film Institute and MoMA.
