Curriculum Vitae
Jenny Gräf Sheppard did her BA at Hampshire College, Amherst/MA and subsequently her MFA in Time Arts at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago/IL. Her PhD project »Communicating Vessels: Re-defining Agency through Sounding« (2020-2023) contains theoretical and practice-based research in which she explores agency from different perspectives using the concept of 'Sounding'. Sounding proposes a porosity in distinctions between listening and producing sound, re-framing sonic relationships and revealing potential and existing interacting agencies. 2016- 2020 she worked as associate professor at Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi and served as head of the Laboratory for Sound.
