- Jenny Kendler (born 1980, New York City) is an American interdisciplinary environmental artist, activist, naturalist & wild forager who lives and works in Chicago. For the past 15 years her work has attempted to "re-story" the relationship between humanity and the natural world through projects on climate change, the biodiversity crisis, and de-centering the human in order to re-enchant our relationship to the natural world. She often collaborates with scientists and, in her work, bridges the gap between art, activism and ecology. Since 2014, Kendler has been the first Artist-in-Residence with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Some notable projects include Music For Elephants, Tell it to the Birds', Sculpture---> Garden, One Hour of Birds and Milkweed Dispersal Balloons. In 2018, Kendler was part of a cross-disciplinary team that was awarded a major grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Humanities Without Walls initiative to present her public art and community-engagement project Garden for a Changing Climate. Kendler is a co-founder of the artist website platform OtherPeoplesPixels, has served as a board member for several grass roots art organizations in Chicago, and was named one of Chicago's Top 50 Artists by Newcity in their biennial list in 2018 and 2020. She is also a founding member of Artists Commit, a successful artist-led initiative to raise climate-consciousness in the artworld. (en)
