Andrea Wollensak examines and redefines technologies of location, mining the rich convergence of place, identity and history in her site-specific art works. Utilizing her background in Graphic Design and New Media, Wollensak explores the creative possibilities for embedding physical sites with personal narratives and meaning as she creates new relations of place and memory that invert and subvert the traditional distinction between public and private. Her work has been exhibited internationally and has been supported by national and international grants. Recent residency projects include a mapping sound artwork featured in the International Gothenburg Biennial in Sweden (2007) and a video work for the Weir Farm Art Center in Wilton, Connecticut (2005). Wollensak has also been an artist-in-residence in Gothenburg, Sweden through IASPIS (2007), Saint-Lô, France (2003), Rockefeller Study and Conference Center in Bellagio, Italy (2000), Lorient, France (2000), and the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada (1996).

Andrea Wollensak is Professor of Art and teaches the Design Studies courses in Studio Art at Connecticut College. She is the Associate Director of Events at the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology and coordinates the colloquia lecture series and curates the technology exhibition for the biennial symposium. Wollensak is also a partner in Leverkuhn Studio, an experimental design and sound studio in Mystic, Connecticut.
