riding the newness of this voice

the training wheels screeching as I round each bend

once an angel, now an anchor

dragging

stirring up muck

what I am saying

is not what you’re hearing

a bellowing crescendo

I feel my sides split open

Artist Bio

Robin Rutenberg, they/them, b. 1987, Florida, USA. Currently living and

working in Berlin, Germany.

Robin is an artist with an emphasis on experiential sound, experimental

composition, digital arts, poetry and storytelling. Their practice is steeped in

ruminations on gender, family, and kinship and asks how

[missed]communication and [mis]understanding within our own bodies,

other bodies, objects, and environment inform these relations. They are

deeply interested in the affective power of using one's voice, speaking with

the body, and being witnessed as generative acts of healing and connection.

Robin received their undergraduate degree from the University of North

Florida and their MA in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts from the University of

the Arts, Berlin.
