    JEANNE JALANDONI

    B. 1993

    Lives and works in NYC

     

    Jeanne F. Jalandoni received her BFA in Studio Art from New York University (2015). Working primarily with paint and textile, Jeanne reflects on Filipino history and her personal experiences as a 2nd generation American to comprehend her own bicultural identity, and challenge Filipino identity. In 2019 she was a Real Art Ways Grant Recipient (Hartford, CT), and had a solo show entitled, Sowing Mythology. She was also a recipient of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Creative Engagement Grant, which was used towards her curatorial debut, Cultural Cousins: a show of Latinx and Filipinx artists (2019; New York, NY). Jeanne also co-curated The First Picture of You, 1990 at the Philippine Center of New York (2019), and exhibited work in Asia Society Texas Center's first Filipino-themed show, Super Sarap (in partnership with Erica Broussard Gallery, curated by Patricia Cari o Valdez; 2019). Jeanne was an artist-in-residence at 36 Chase and Barns Residency (2018; North Adams, MA), and the Textile Art Center (2021; Brooklyn, NY).

    • As a native New Yorker and second generation American who has never travelled to the Philippines, Jeanne Jalandoni always depended on her mother’s oral stories, research, and childhood memories to map out her cultural identity. Jeanne’s mother would often tell stories about growing up on a farm in Pinamalayan, the carabaos that worked the fields, and the coconut trees her lolo taught himself how to plant. Fashion, as well as food, were important elements of these stories, which became Jeanne’s gateway to a foreign country and blurry ancestry.

    • Jeanne admits growing up with the insecurity of not being seen as ‘Filipino enough’ or ‘American enough’ by others. In her artistic practice, combinations of different mediums such as oil paint and textiles are used to examine and reflect on the subject of biculturalism. By mixing personal imagery with textiles, Jeanne produces new narratives to trace memories and determine the tangibility of her Filipino American identity. 'Faraway Embrace' condenses and combines historical and ancestral timelines: Jeanne’s figures are dressed in her grandmother's yellow terno and her mother's dusters.

       

       

    • The furniture and musical instruments are all referencing old family photographs and document the artist’s relationship to these objects and memories. The collaged fabrics, mediums, and techniques blur the lines between painted illusion and physical textile. In a similar way, Jeanne's practice challenges the viewer to question bicultural tangibility, while also allowing the artist to take authorship of her own identity and reimagine aspects of her family history, as well as Filipino history.

    The weaving is a painted postcard of a Manila street in the early 1900s, during the US occupation. The screen printed text on the weft is taken from the 'Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos' (1849), a book of Spanish surnames distributed to Filipinos.

    The Filipino American figure hears her dogs barking and checks to see what frightens them. A ghosted figure of the artist’s great grandmother is seen outside the window among mango branches.
