ABOUT Audra Wolowiec is an interdisciplinary artist whose work oscillates between sculpture, installation, text, and performance with an emphasis on sound and the material qualities of language. She is interested in how sound can create spaces of listening and connection. Wolowiec’s sound installations and experimental language scores often use the gap, space, or breath in between speech to amplify an undercurrent of language. These language-based artworks draw on the traditions of musical notation and experimental writing techniques to provide conceptual and poetic frameworks, and exist in the form of take-away posters, prints, and books. Wolowiec's work has been shown internationally and in the United States at MASS MoCA, CCS Bard Hessel Museum, ICA at MECA (Maine College of Art), Stony Brook University, Art in General, and Studio 10. Readings and events have taken place at MoMA PS1, The Poetry Project, Microscope Gallery, and Center for Performance Research. Her work has been featured in BOMB Magazine, Modern Painters, The New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, CAA Journal, Sound American, and reductive journal. Residencies include Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Complex Systems Art and Physics Residency at the University of Oregon supported by a National Science Foundation Grant, Dieu Donné, and Institute for Electronic Arts (iea) at Alfred University. Wolowiec currently teaches at Parsons School of Design and SUNY Purchase. She is the founder and director of the publishing platform Gravel Projects.
