Jenine Marsh (b. 1984, Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is an artist who uses sculpture and installation to explore themes of agency, mortality and value. Coins as well as other paraphernalia of exchange and contact, such as casts of hands, purses and flowers, are manipulated through serialized processes of destruction and transformation to cultivate illicit and intimate responses to the shared conditions of end-stage capitalism.
Marsh received her BFA from the Alberta University of the Arts and her MFA from the University of Guelph. Marsh’s work has been exhibited in Canadian galleries such as Cooper Cole, Franz Kaka, Toronto; Vie d’ange, Centre Clark, Montreal; and Griffin Art Projects, Vancouver. She has also exhibited in international museums and galleries including Night Gallery, Los Angeles; Essex Flowers, New York; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Gianni Manhattan, Vienna, OSL Contemporary, Oslo; Entrée Gallery, and Lulu, Mexico City. She has served as artist in residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts, at AiR Bergen at USF Verftet, Bergen; La Datcha, Berlin; SOMA, Mexico City; Rupert, Vilnius; and Vermont Studio Center, Johnson. She also had a public site-specific installation in the 2023 Nuit Blanche (Toronto) which was curated by Kari Cwynar. Marsh lives and works in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
