The interests of New York-based multimedia artists Valerie Tevere, Associate Professor of Media Culture, CUNY, College of Staten Island, and Angel Nevarez, lecturer at MIT’s visual arts program, lie in the formation of mobile, performative and discursive-based social spaces, along with the re-articulation of radio within such locales. Through various media forms, their current projects investigate contemporary music, dissent, and public fora, and move between the spatial simultaneity of performance and enunciation, reflecting upon the projection of political agency through transmission and song.
Their work has been exhibited at Manifesta 8 (2011) and The New Museum (2010) and in 2009 they were the recipients of a Creative Capital fellowship, a grant from Art Matters, and were artists-in-residence at the International Artists Studio Program in Sweden (IASPIS), Stockholm.
