Using failed proposals as the storyline, Maria Chavez will introduce the audience to her career as a sound artist through the lens of rejection. The lecture will include information about Chavez’s work, her focus on the gender neutral position of chance, and subjective views on curating sound-based exhibitions in NYC, London, and Berlin.

About Maria Chavez
Born in Lima, Peru, Maria Chávez is mainly known as an abstract turntablist, sound artist, and DJ. Influenced by chance and improvisation in contemporary art, she is currently a research fellow for the Sound Practice Research department at Goldsmith’s University of London until 2017.
