­­­________________________________________________

Jenny Kendler is a Chicago-based multimedia artist whose practice seeks to complicate the space between Nature and Culture, and re-enchant human beings' relationship with the natural world. Her work endeavors to remind us that each individual, including ourselves and members of other species, lives within its own umwelt, or unique sphere of perception. She asks us to reexamine our preconceived notions about "nature" and allow space in our worldview for radical, transformative otherness. Read more...

She is represented by Mulherin + Pollard in NYC & ADA Gallery in Richmond, VA.
