Digital media artist, Jane D. Marsching's current project, Arctic Listening Post, explores our past, present and future human impact on the Arctic environment through interdisciplinary and collaborative practices, including video installations, virtual landscapes, dynamic websites, and data visualizations, all of which foster emerging forms of participation and social engagement. Her upcoming work brings together scientists, architects, and scifi illustrators to imagine what it will be like to live at the North Pole in 100 years.
Recent exhibitions include: North Carolina Museum of Art; CEPA Gallery, Buffalo, NY; Photographic Resource Center, Boston, MA; and Nexus Foundation, Philadelphia. She was a finalist for the 2006 Foster Artist Prize and exhibited in the new Institute of Contemporary Art Boston waterfront in winter 2007. In 2006 she received grants from Creative Capital, LEF Foundation, Artadia and an Artists Resource Trust grant for her project Arctic Listening Post.
With Mark Alice Durant in 2005, she curated The Blur of the Otherworldly: Contemporary Art, Technology, and the Paranormal, at The Center for Art and Visual Culture, Baltimore, MD; a catalog of the exhibition was published in June 2006 with essays by Marsching, Durant, Marina Warner and Lynne Tillman.
She is currently Assistant Professor at Massachusetts College of Art in Studio Foundation. She received her MFA in photography from The School of Visual Arts, New York City, in 1995.
She is represented by Allston Skirt Gallery, Boston, MA.
