Glyndor Gallery

Price

Free with admission to the grounds

Join us in Glyndor Gallery for an artist-led walkthrough of the current exhibition, As far as the ear can hear.

Across their decades-long collaborative practice, Nevarez and Tevere have worked in video, installation, photography, music, performance, and the electromagnetic spectrum to uncover histories embedded in communities, neighborhoods, and landscapes. Drawing on sound, musical lineages, and the social structures that shape a place, the auditory layers specific to each project ground the listener in physical space and time.

In conversation with Wave Hill Curator of Visual Arts Rachel Raphaela Gugelberger, Nevarez & Tevere will discuss works on view that activate sound across the landscapes of the Bronx, the Sonoran Desert, New Orleans, and Wave Hill, to consider how listening can open new ways of understanding the cultural histories, musical traditions, and stories that make a place distinct.

At this event, we will also be celebrating the publication of the exhibition catalog, which will be available to visitors for free.

Glyndor Gallery is wheelchair-accessible. There is an accessible, ground-level entrance at the front of the building with an elevator that provides access to the gallery level. The Sunroom Project Space can be accessed with an ADA-compliant ramp. The restroom on the gallery level is all-gender and ADA-compliant.

Valerie Tevere & Angel Nevarez

Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere are interdisciplinary artists whose practice spans over twenty years of projects that actuate music and sound, radio, dissent, and the cultural complexities of the public sphere. The artists have produced works in video installation, lyric writing, performance, and photography. Their research interests lie in the intersection between music, civic action, and historical moments that resonate through distinct musical instrumentation and sonorous traditions.
Nevarez and Tevere have exhibited and screened their work at The Museum of Modern Art, The Guggenheim Museum, Creative Time, New Museum, and Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York; Manifesta 8/Spain; Museo Raúl Anguiano, Guadalajara, Mexico; Casino Luxembourg, LU; Henie Onstad Art Centre, Høvikodden, Norway; Taxispalais, Innsbruck, Austria, and elsewhere. The first US survey of their work was presented at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, in 2016. Their fellowships and grants include a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Creative Capital fellowship, an Art Matters grant, an NEA Project Grant, and a Franklin Furnace Performance Art fellowship. Both Nevarez and Tevere were Studio Fellows at The Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program, artists-in-residence at Wave Hill and Pioneer Works in New York; the International Artists Studio Program in Sweden; Grand Central Art Center, Santa Ana, CA; Artpace, San Antonio, TX; Marble House Project, Dorset, VT; Interlude, Livingston, NY; and Antenna Gallery, New Orleans.
