Visiting Artist Colloquium: Jen Bervin

Jen Bervin’s complex yet elegant multidisciplinary work results from poetic and conceptual investigations of material, and from research and collaboration with artists and specialists ranging from material scientists to literary scholars. Her practice engages in a process of trying to understand irreducible complexity. With her collaborators, she activates the intersections of art and scholarship, text and textiles, science, technology, and craft in works that range from poems written nanoscale to large-scale museum installations, and feminist modes of reading, writing, and listening.
