This Is Where I Learned of Love
"After Jennifer Moon was incarcerated for nine months in 2008 and 2009 for attempted robbery, she transformed her artistic practice. Moon began turning inward, drawing from her experiences in creating the Revolution, a self-help, and fantasy, Moon uses the Revolution in performances, videos, writing, and sculpture to share her unconventional vision with the world. Examples of Moon's practice are the texts and photographs that make up the core of her self-published book This Is Where I Learned of Love. In the book, Moon casts herself as a political prisoner, merging her letters with a larger insight about prison populations in the United States. In blurring definitions and practices, Moon creates a space for shifting of notions about society."--Hammer Museum website
