Forelesning
Jana Winderen / Listening from different perspectives in space and time
Jana Winderen will be sharing experiences from working with audible and inaudible frequencies through a presentation of recent works, from her fieldtrips and meetings with creatures under and above the surface. She will also talk about a selection of her recent installation works like The River for Jerwood Gallery in the Natural History Museum in London, Absent Voices for Haus der Kunst in Munich and ongoing work for Bergen Assembly in Bergen. She will also talk about her underwater recordings of walrus in Svalbard for the film series Earthsounds for Apple TV+, screaming humans at the North Pole and rat’s love songs in ultrasound range from her work for the Munchmuseum on the Move.
Jana Winderen is an artist based in Norway with a background in mathematics, chemistry and fish ecology. Her practice pays particular attention to audio environments and to creatures which are hard for humans to access, both physically and aurally – deep under water, inside ice or in frequency ranges inaudible to the human ear. Her activities include site-specific and spatial audio installations and concerts, which have been exhibited and performed internationally in major institutions and public spaces.
Recent work includes The River at Jerwood Gallery, Natural History Museum, London, Absent Voices, Haus der Kunst, Munich, The Art of Listening: Underwater at Lenfest Center for the Arts, Columbia University, New York, Listening through the Dead Zones for IHME, Helsinki, The Art of Listening: Underwater for Audemar Piguet at Art Basel, Miami, Rising Tide at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, Listening with Carp for Now is the Time in Wuzhen, Through the Bones for Thailand Art Biennale in Krabi, bára for TBA21_Academy, Spring Bloom in the Marginal Ice Zone for Sonic Acts, Dive in Park Avenue Tunnel in New York and Ultrafield for MoMA, New York. In 2011 she won the Golden Nica at Ars Electronica for Digital Musics & Sound Art. She releases her audio-visual work on Touch (UK).
