Janelle VanderKelen is an artist, curator, and educator based in Milwaukee, WI. Her films and intermedia installations imagine alternative acts of relation between imperfect bodies (human, vegetal, geological, or otherwise) and make visible the agency of plants through experimental time-based media processes.
Her films have screened at Athens International Film + Video Festival, Revelation Perth International Film Festival, IC DOCS, and Antimatter [Media Art] Film Festival.
She co-curates a monthly non-profit screening series called aCinema and teaches film and video at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she received both her MFA in Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres and her MA in Intermedia Art.
