“My work challenges how it is to be seen; whether to look in sequence or randomly, whether to look close up or just take it all in at once.
The details pool the viewer towards the piece yet the collection of drawing elements creates the overall new visual experience that lets one appreciate the severity, seriousness, or immensity of the issue. In addition, uncommonly, my work uses fundamental, most simple materials, like pencil on paper, so that focus can be on the idea and its execution process.”
Jelena Berenc
“My projects are a materialization of time, a record of my process and life. Studio production is an external reflection of my want for home.
The short moments I occupy earth are couched in a larger human context in which we all are conditioned by matters of gender, race, culture, and a longing for something that exceeds those limitations.
The more I labor within the studio, the more I make a place for myself within this world, and reconcile life’s brevity with a sense of belonging.”

Asian Improv aRts Midwest (AIRMW) presents 思考回路 • Shikoukairo III: Patterns of Thought as a continuation of AIRMW’s efforts to reframe the conversation around Asian & Asian-American cultural diegesis in the arts. A third iteration of the 思考回路• Shikoukairo exhibition, the show features artists who are intuitively influenced by their Asian diasporic background and experiences, yet whose practices diverge from didactic and diegetic inquiries of cultural identity. This year the project has expanded to feature an international roster of Chicago-connected artists, whose work emphasizes process and material-based methodologies and explorations. 思考回路 • Shikoukairo III considers notions of legibility and visibility through the photographic, cinematic, abstracted, textural, refracted, reflective, tactile and sonic image.
