Maja Rajenovich began exhibiting Live Art pieces over twenty years ago in Portland, Oregon, working primarily in sculpture, music, and video.  In the early 90s, she moved to New York City to work as a studio assitant for sculptress Barbara Ellmann.  Rajenovich came into contact with Dennis Oppenheim, Nina Martin, Lisa Nelson, and Marc Ribot, all of whom had great influence as she began training at the New York Dance Intensive.  She has completed Fine Art Degrees in Sculpture and Theatre: Acting from Lewis & Clark College and Portland State University, and has shown in Bill Young Studio, Judson Church, Performanceworks NW (OR), LAVA, Galapagos Art Space, The Tank, Big Skyworks Brooklyn, Joyce Soho, Dance New Amsterdam, Seattle Festival of Dance Improvisation, The Hostess (OR), Bryant Lake Bowl (MN), New Dance Allliance, and Green Space.   Her current performance art projects are process oriented with a focus on repetition, ritual, environmentalism, and the role of witness/voyeur/audience.  Rajenovich cherishes her enduring creative partnerships which survived an 8 year sabattical in India, and motherhood.  Recent notable project based reunions have been with Tanya Gagne (Brooklyn), Alexandra Hartmann (Brooklyn), Julia Sterling (SF), Dennis Del Zotto (Brooklyn) and Johanna Meyer (Champagne-Urbana).  It has been an honor to be brought into collaboration with the Dennis Oppenheim Studio (NY) and Slought Foundation (PA).  majarajenovich.com
