Jennifer Jurgens / 2019 Thesis Candidate

Jennifer Jurgens has worked in a variety of mediums, and no matter where she goes artistically and literally, there is always one that remains: sound. During her time in the program, she has been experimenting with ways to use sound to express ideas that are maybe not so easily understood. Specifically, the language of a space, and through virtue of that place’s unique architecture, can express itself through sound—or the absence of it.

She likes to think of herself as a translator, reaching inside a building to get it to reveal its innermost experiences. Her thesis work does just that; she is using various microphones and recording devices to capture the special characteristics of the MCAD gallery space and presenting the results of her findings.


Be sure to join us on Friday, May 17th from 6pm-9pm at the MFA Graduate Studios to enjoy Jennifer's thesis work, along with the other 2019 graduates!
