Lisa Oppenheim (born 1975) is an American multimedia artist.
Education
Lisa Oppenheim was born in New York City. She earned her Bachelor's degree from Brown University in 1998, concentrating in Modern Culture and Media, Art and Semiotics. In 2001, she earned her MFA in Film and Video from Milton Avery Graduate School for the Arts, Bard College. She completed a Whitney Museum Independent Study Program in 2003.[1]
Work
Oppenheim's work plays with the process of creating photographs and film. Her pieces often question the documentary genre as well as the concept of an archives.[2] In utilizing archival sources, she interrogates and reappropriates the archival function of narrative-making and -omitting, and how narrative and imagery are intertwined but ultimately separate.[3]
In work such as Lunagrams, 2010, in which she exposed archival glass negatives using moonlight, Oppenheim experiments with time as a force of art and imagery.[4]
Oppenheim has had the honor of many solo and group exhibitions at international venues including the Museum of Modern Art and the New Museum in New York City, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain, the Museum of Modern Art of Republika Srpska in Bosnia, and the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
