Jenn Grossman is an audiovisual artist, experimental composer, and
sound sculptor based in Brooklyn, NY. She is concerned with the expansive physical
and psycho-spatial potentials of sensory experience within a culture of
commodification, turning the mundane into the transportive and other-worldly. With
sound sculpture, she expands “every-day” industrial objects and materials into
affective, emotive, expressive vessels, by giving them a voice or spirit-hood
through sound. In her audiovisual works, she creates sublime, ephemeral experiences
working with media to stretch time and space. Her work has ranged from sound and
video sculpture to audiovisual installation, light events, experimental music
composition, public architectural interventions and live performance. She’s held
residencies at I-Park Foundation, Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center, presented
audio works & research at festivals, museums and conferences such as the Black
Mountain College Museum, the Museum of the Moving Image and the New York Transit
Museum, the Megapolis Audio Festival, the Cistern Dreams at the Deep Listening
Institute, the Global Composition Conference, the Women In/Women on Sound Symposium,
galleries such as Microscope Gallery and Arete Gallery, and unconventional public
locations for Make Music NY, She’s recently presented at SARC’s Sonic Lab with the
Irish Sound, Science, & Technology Association, Roulette’s MATA festival, the Light
Matter Film Festival, and the Re-Embodied Sound Symposium at EMPAC. She
independently curates live performance and art events with her organization, WISE
(Women Innovating Sound Experience), which highlights women and non-binary artists
working experimental sound and media arts.
