About the visiting artist:
The extent of the work of experimental composer, sonic architect, performance artist and visual media artist, Guillermo Galindo redefines the conventional limits between music, the art of music composition and the intersections between all art disciplines, politics, humanitarian issues, spirituality and social awareness. Galindo’s artistic practice emerges from the crossroads between sound, sight and performance and includes everything from orchestral compositions, instrumental works and opera, to sculpture, visual arts, computer interaction, electro-acoustic music, film making, instrument building, three-dimensional installation and live improvisation.
Galindo’s graphic scores and three dimensional sculptural cybertotemic sonic objects have been shown at major museums and art biennials in America, Europe, Asia and around the world including documenta14 (2017), Pacific Standard Time (2017) and CTM Festival (2017). HIs work has been featured on: BBC Outlook (London), Vice Magazine, (London), RTS Switzerland, National Public Radio (U.S.), CBC (Canada), California Sunday Magazine (U.S), Reforma Newspaper (Mexico), CNN and the New York Times.
Through the Center of Latin American Studies at Vanderbilt, Galindo will be an artist-in-residence for the month of October. He will also take part in a panel discussion at a conference on refugee/migration issues in the arts over October 25th and 26th, 2018. Galindo will also lead a performance in Nashville the evening of October 25, 2018, with the location and time to be announced.
This event is made possible with the generous support of the Center for Latin American Studies, the Department of Art, the Blair School of Music, and the Program in Comparative Media Analysis and Practice (CMAP), all at Vanderbilt University.
