Alena Ahrens’ studio practice is influenced by her cross-cultural upbringing, training in mindfulness, and fieldwork in painting and modern dance. Her transition into a studio practice began when early field and course work in the fields of psychology and performance led to training with Marina Abramović at MoMA PS1 (Summer, 2012). Alena has trained with Marina Abramović at MoMA PS1 (Summer, 2012) and has completed performance residency work with Mark Jeffery, Lin Hixson, and Matthew Goulish. Additional self-study led her to pursuing an MFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) where she expanded her performance practice to include visual and sculptural works. Alena has presented work at the Zhou B. Art Center (Chicago, IL), the Tipi Project (Brooklyn, NY), the Bruno David Projects (St. Louis), MoMA PS1 (NYC), and the DAMU Theatre (Prague, Czech Republic). She will be an artist in residence at Hangar (Portugal) in the Winter - 2023.
