As part of our mission to unite our community of artists with art professionals throughout Chicago, we offer portfolio reviews throughout the year. Portfolio reviews are private a 30-minute sessions with a curator, educator, gallery director, or arts administrator.
This is a unique opportunity for artists to receive feedback on a current body of work or upcoming project, as well as suggestions on how to prepare for other professional opportunities. Participating artists should bring a portfolio of current work to share.
For this iteration, we are brining in Jenna Lyle. Her expertise lies in the realm of music, sound, and performance. She is not explicitly a visual art scholar, and encourages artists with an interdisciplinary practice to sign up.
Guest Reviewer: Jenna Lyle
Composer, performer, installation-builder, and administrator Jenna Lyle approaches her sound-driven creative practice through the lens of embodiment, visual display, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Taking on long-term collaborations drawing upon her background in theater and vocal performance, Lyle focuses on relationship dynamics, tactility, and bodies in a state of listening and critical response. Recent projects include a one-woman adaptation of Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat, a solo work for sonic fabric garment and electronics called Louise, and a large-scale multi-ensemble piece for the combined forces of Chicago’s Ensemble Dal Niente, Berlin’s Ensemble Adapter, and Manchester’s Distractfold Ensemble.
Lyle is also a Co-Artistic Director of performance ensemble Mocrep and a co-founder of Parlour Tapes+, a New Music cassette tape label and media/performance collective based in Chicago. She lectures and tours periodically while curating and coordinating programming at The Arts Club of Chicago as Programs Manager.
