Elana Mann makes visible the ephemeral and immaterial power of sound and listening through her installations. She believes the act of listening is a physical experience that can move people emotionally, help form deep interpersonal connections and be an agent of social change. Mann received an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts and a BFA from Washington University. She has presented her work nationally and internationally in museums and galleries such as the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Ford Foundation in New York and Hirshhorn Gallery and Sculpture Park in Washington DC.
