Topography of Sound: Peaks & Valleys Series, New Work by Maria Chavez

In this exhibition, Brooklyn-based artist Maria Chavez (born in Peru, 1980) examines microscopic, physical images of vinyl records and their striking similarities to the topography of mountainous and canyon regions throughout the world. A sound artist and abstract turntablist, Chavez will trade her dexterity from physical hand manipulation during her performances to sketching with various densities of graphite, sumi ink and watercolor. Also presented will be a sample of previously recorded performances and publications.
