Michelle Rosenberg is an artist and architect whose installations mediate personal and public interaction with sound. In a series of work called "Dynamic Headphones,” Michelle modifies and combines portable headphones as well as creates acoustic headphones that use physical elements to filter live sound. These devices and installations explore intimacies central to the act of listening and add unexpected elements to an otherwise familiar activity. In other installations, Michelle incorporates game calls and other whistles to animate objects and situations. Several of these public installations allow controlled communication with wildlife. Michelle has exhibited
her work at galleries including Exit Art and PS122 in New York; Western
Exhibitions in Chicago; and The Portland Building Pubic Art Space in
Portland, Oregon. She has created outdoor installations at Socrates
Sculpture Park in Queens; the Peekskill Project in Peekskill, New York;
and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. She has recently
lectured on the history of listening devices for Dorkbot at Location
One in New York and participated in a residency at Sculpture Space in
Utica, New York. Michelle was born Jan.1 1973 in Manchester, England
to Italian and Jewish Parents. She attended The Rhode Island School
of Design where she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1994 and
Bachelor of Architecture in 1996. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New
York. |
