Since the 1990s, Marina Rosenfeld, a New York-based artist and composer, has produced a dense oeuvre of sound works, installations and performative works, often involving the resonance and architecture of monumental spaces. Working at the limits of music composition and performance, but also corralling drawing and notation, Rosenfeld's pieces have foregrounded the complex of material and other conditions that define the situation where music is enacted. Since her early project the Sheer Frost Orchestra, an all-female electric guitar ensemble, her works for live performers, including teenagers, classical, military and experimental musicians, address structures of transmission and cooperation.

In her lecture at Städelschule Marina Rosenfeld will talk about her practice and her latest projects, including Free Exercise (2014-2016), a collective performance presented at La Biennale de Montréal as well as about her upcoming exhibition, titled Deathstar, at Portikus, which opens February 17, 2017 at 7 PM.
