Working in film, video, sound, sculpture, installation, and\u00a0performance, the Hawai\u2019i-born artist Andy Graydon narrates processes of\u00a0change, from emergence to decay, focusing on\u00a0moments of transition and\u00a0metamorphosis. He is interested in natural and social ecologies, the role\u00a0of listening and the voice, and engages structures of music such as scoring,\u00a0improvisation, collective emergence, and community. Often ephemeral in nature,\u00a0Andy\u2019s work combines minimal materials with elements that are absent,\u00a0fictional, or imaginary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For his Back Apartment Residency, Andy was interested in what writer Boris Groys identified in\u00a0Kazimir Malevich as \u201ca dialetics of imperfection\u201d: a sense of ongoing and\u00a0progressive interaction as the eternal form of art. He\u00a0planned to expand his work\u00a0with sound, through its relational nature and its connection to ecologies, into\u00a0a context that included traditions of materialism and Suprematism, in which\u00a0progress and discovery were continually engaged, but never completed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
