Join us on Thursday October 10th at Wood Street Galleries for a performance by Maria Chávez—a NYC-based, Lima-born abstract turntablist, sound artist, and DJ internationally known for her groundbreaking techniques. Coincidence, chance, and failures are themes that unite her work across mediums, including improvised performance, sound and marble sculpture, visual art, and book objects. Her large scale sound & multi-media installations along with other works have been shown at the Getty Museum @gettymuseum , the JUDD Foundation @juddfoundation , Documenta 14 in Kassel @documenta14 , Germany and HeK (Haus der elektronischen Künste Basel) @hek_basel amongst many other institutions around the world. Chávez, the only abstract turntablist in the world who performs with the rare RAKE Double Needle, brings her inimitable style to Pittsburgh for a truly unique experience where she will perform using 4 turntables.
