Janne Larsen

Artists

Bridging the gap between installation art and set design, Janne translates text and spatial dimension into new forms of expression. Her work explores spatial development in performance and gallery dynamics. Her strategy is like that of Brancusi or Meyerhold: “to create an event that transforms the stage, it’s objects and the entire material space of the auditorium – including the audience members – into the work.” Through social experiments in art, Janne breaks through the fourth wall by challenging the structures behind preconceived notions of art and performance.

Janne Larsen received her B.A in philosophy from DePaul University and in 2007 received her M.F.A from CalArts. Janne is a Los Angeles based installation artist and set designer. Janne’s most recent project is an installation in a cave in Greece, sponsored by the Greece Ministry of Culture. Her work has been seen at Telic, CalArts, BetaLevel, UCLA, CalPoly, Cal State LA and the Los Angeles Municipal Gallery.
