ABOUT ARTIST

One of Brazil’s most internationally renowned contemporary artists, Jac Leirner is best known for the sculptures and installations she creates from mundane objects and ephemera, including devalued bank notes, airline tickets, cigarette packets, and shopping bags. Leirner collects and categorizes objects and cultural detritus—including ephemera relating to the machinery of the art world and objects that bear a personal relationship to the artist—before reconfiguring them into meticulously constructed works that both draw attention to and negate their function.
