GRETCHEN BLEGEN
is an interdisciplinary artist from the Southwest of the U.S., based in Berlin. Their work engages with research-based navigations of anti-extractivist thinking, rooted in a desire to shift the gaze away from the surface and towards feelings of resonance, of that which feels. Current works exist across the mediums of light, sound, text, and performance. The glue to these various mediums are collective practices of listening and imaginative queer-feminist (re)worldings.
