As part of his practice, artist and cultural coordinator John Grzinich draws together sound, moving images, site-specificity and collaborative social structures.
Composing, performing and exhibiting since the mid 1990s, the focus of his work in recent years has been to combine sonic encounters and listening practices with various media. The resulting audio-centric works seek to challenge ingrained anthropocentric perceptions of terrestrial existence, discovering ways of attuning differently to landscapes and non-human entities. In addition to an impressive array of composition recordings, Grzinich’s work has resulted innumerous performances and projects throughout Europe and the US. Grzinich coordinates activities for the artist-run organisation MoKS and is currently a visiting Associate Professor at the Estonian Academy of Arts.
