Performance: Jana Winderen

The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago presents contemporary art exhibitions, events, and publications. “The Ren”—as we are known by many—is an independent, non-collecting museum driven by an uncompromising commitment to artists and their ideas. All exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.We offer artists the time, space, resources, and freedom that are vital for ambitious experimentation and risk-taking. Our work with artists frequently results in newly commissioned art, and their presentations in our 3,000 sq ft gallery spur further scholarly and creative reflections in our publications and public programs.Visitors to the Ren find a uniquely intimate platform for encountering artistic expressions that give form to, challenge, and complicate currents in contemporary thought. Events—including artist talks, lectures, screenings, concerts, readings, and more—offer further opportunities for discovery and discussion.

This event is now fully booked, but you can still register for the waitlist in case spots become available.
Jana Winderen’s live performances and immersive sound installations focus on audio environments and ecosystems that are difficult for humans to reach, both physically and aurally. Working in diverse locations, Winderen searches for sounds from hidden sources, frequencies that aren’t usually possible for us to perceive, or places that are hard to access.
Over the last twelve years she has collected recordings made by sea ice at the North Pole, rivers and oceans in various parts of the world, and from glaciers in Greenland, Iceland, and Norway, to name only a few of her audio-topographies. Embracing the sensory possibilities of sound and the immateriality of her medium, her work generates compelling new experiences of these places while taking us beyond the normal bounds of the human senses.
Here, Winderen presents Spring Bloom in the Marginal Ice Zone, a new, live eight-channel mix of underwater sounds recorded in the marginal ice zone, or the transition between open sea and sea ice, in the Barents Sea between Norwegian and Russian territorial waters. 
Prior to this performance, Winderen discusses her work in conversation with Karsten Lund, curator of Unthought Environments at the Renaissance Society, on Friday, April 6. <A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lampo-artist-talk-jana-winderen-tickets-43950435937" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer">Read more and RSVP</A>.
