Her work focuses on thresholds, liminal and peripheral spaces, and transitional moments—states she enacts by the repetition, accumulation and recontextualization of found materials.de Brugerolle, Marie. "Scoping Things on the Cutting Edge: A conversation between Jennifer Bolande and Marie de Brugerolle," Mousse Magazine, Fall 2018, p. 82–89. She frequently selects cultural artifacts on the verge of obsolescence or in flux—and thus acquiring new meanings—and archives, studies and reframes them.Grabner, Michelle. "Jennifer Bolande," Artforum, September 2010. Retrieved January 15, 2024. Artforum critic Paula Marincola wrote, "Bolande's highly individualized amalgam of sculpture and photography proceeds obliquely but precisely toward an accumulation of possible meanings. She is a connoisseur of unlikely but evocative details, of subliminally perceived, fragmentary images and events."

Education and career
Bolande was born in 1957 in Cleveland, Ohio. She earned a BFA from . After initially working in dance, and drawing, she turned to found material from the media and urban landscape, influenced by the 1977 exhibition, "Pictures." She received recognition for this work in the 1980s and 1990s through solo exhibitions at The Kitchen,Westerbeck, Colin. "Jennifer Bolande," Artforum, Summer 1982. Retrieved January 15, 2024.

Work and reception
The foundation of Bolande's art has been an inductive, often additive process operating in the space between photography and sculpture. Her inquiries often involve perception and the quirkiness of physical phenomena, exploring subjects across different media, while marking and collapsing distinctions between objects, images, memory and embodied experience. There is often a sense of filmic expectation and potentiality in her work, of events just completed or about to occur; some writers have deemed them "frozen movies."Makary, J. Louise. "Interview with Jennifer Bolande," Incite!, August 2012. Retrieved January 15, 2024. While certain tendencies in Bolande's art link her to the Pictures Generation (media consciousness, appropriation), critics note qualities that set the work apart from that group's cool criticality and slickness: its warm, often absurd humor and lack of cynicism; a near-obsessive attachment to idiosyncratic subjects; a funky, cast-off, lo-fi aesthetic; and an elusive inner logic.

Photographic and assemblage works, 1980–2008
In the 1980s, Bolande's art centered on found image and object assemblages that New York Times critic described as "a kind of controlled recycling characterized by low-key wit, lively inventiveness and a subtle eye for metaphor." The work explored processes of reproduction and reception involving sound and sight, accumulating oblique meanings by stacking, resizing and reframing fragmentary, intangible and peripheral events and motifs—among them, the ignored furniture in porn movies, inert Marshall amplifiers and speaker cones, vintage refrigerator doors.Weinstein, Matthew A. "Jennifer Bolande," Artforum, November 1988. Retrieved January 15, 2024. Her exhibitions often functioned like catalogues of ideas: piled binary relationships involving texture and color, points of simultaneous meeting and division, dichotomies of medium, and emotional and psychological oppositions whose syntactic richness suggested poetry lines and verses (e.g., Stack of Shims and Marshall's Stack, 1987). Milk Crown (1987) was an early exemplar of her method, exploring an image through a "life cycle" of various physical and experiential states. It was a delicate cast-porcelain rendering of 's iconic, high-speed 1957 image of a splashing milk drop in which she converted the ephemeral into the solidly permanent, commenting on the original's effort to capture the invisible.

In subsequent works, Bolande paired related motifs to different effect. Her exhibition "Road Movie" (1995) played with boundaries between real and aesthetic objects, juxtaposing photographs of brightly colored, full-sized trucks in odd formations with shots of toy trucks, their scale indicated by a human index, such as a finger; arranged in a kind of jump-cut sequence, the images suggested the sense of narrative and total control endemic to both film direction and child's play. Appliance House (1998–99) matched two 1950s relics once premised on newness and defined by the cube—, the eponymous soap company's landmark International Style office tower, and a cut-rate Lower East Side appliance store—each representing opposite ends of Manhattan's East Side and the laundry-soap business. The architectural, stainless-steel framed sculpture featured backlit night photographs of windows revealing high-modernist office interiors or rows of used washing machines that Artforum's Katy Siegel noted for their "spooky melancholy," humanity and loneliness.

In Earthquake (2004), Bolande revisited the cube, loudspeakers and washer/dryers in two rhyming works—a film and a stacked assemblage. Her "Smoke Screens" exhibition (2008) featured small groups of tinted photographic prints of smoke placed on large sheets of plywood. She played the -like textures of the wood grain off those of the prints; a conical plaster tabletop sculpture, Plume (2007), froze an image of smoke in form and time.

Public artworks
Bolande reprised the plywood visual theme in her first public-art project, Plywood Curtains (2010), a series of installations presented in vacated storefronts throughout Los Angeles.Knight, Christopher. "Jennifer Bolande @ West of Rome," Los Angeles Times, September 30, 2010. Retrieved January 15, 2024. Inviting both a double take and acknowledgment of an ongoing economic downturn in viewers, she hung drapery printed with the graphic image of plywood inside the empty windows, mimicking the familiar sight of boarded-up storefronts.

The site-specific Desert X project, Visible Distance/Second Sight (2017), invited another double take that encapsulated Bolande's collapsing of images, the cinematic and embodied experience. It consisted of three double-sided highway billboards that reproduced her enlarged photographs of the distant San Jacinto, Santa Rosa and San Bernardino mountain ranges. They were placed and scaled in order to facilitate what critic Christopher Knight called a "fleeting, disconcerting moment" for drivers in which "the wordless pictures line up exactly with the approaching view."Knight, Christopher. "International Art Invades the Suburban Coachella Valley: The Best of 'Desert X,'" Los Angeles Times, March 9, 2017. Retrieved January 15, 2024.

Later exhibitions
Bolande's project "The Composition of Decomposition" (2018–20) offered a subtle elegy on newspapers and the news itself.Khraibani, Sahar. "Jennifer Bolande: The Composition of Decomposition," The Brooklyn Rail, April 2020. Retrieved January 15, 2024. It began with Image Tomb (2014), an examination of history as a vertical accumulation of layers, represented by a stack of New York Times newspapers through which she tunneled by cutting a deep rectangular channel to excavate a picture of skeletons below. She used the excised pieces to create the project's centerpiece, a film composed of roughly 400 pairs of side-by-side fragments ordered in their original sequence, which appeared and faded in a rhythmic flow set to a score of percussive found and synthesized sounds. Los Angeles Times critic Leah Ollman called it a "subtly provocative" new form—evoking found poetry and early modernist abstractions—that "reduced the Times to a confetti of elusive clues" revealing connections of unexpected depth.

In the exhibition, "Persistence of Vision" (2023), Bolande presented photographs of patiently observed, impermanent moments (often interventions of light), near-topographic portraits of single white facial tissues ("Monoliths"), and plaster sculptures of iceberg- or cliff-like forms ("Drifts") that visually rhymed with the tissue images.Knoblauch, Loring. "Jennifer Bolande: Persistence of Vision @Magenta Plains," Collector Daily, May 25, 2023. Retrieved January 15, 2024.
