Stephen Vitiello: Tall Grasses
Opening Reception with the artist: Thursday, October 28, 5:00 to 7:00 pm
Composer, electronic musician, and sound artist Stephen Vitiello is well-known for his experimental approaches to the phenomenological aspects of sound. His field recordings of ubiquitous atmospheric noises are often mixed with electronics to create palpable soundscapes. Constructed like a mixed tape, Stephen Vitiello: Tall Grasses collages together Vitiello’s recent sound works, a video collaboration with Brazilian filmmaker Eder Santos, and a new Art Center commission capturing the audible life of Kansas’s remaining tallgrass prairies.
Born in 1964, Vitiello is based in Richmond, VA, where he teaches in the Kinetic Imaging Department at Virginia Commonwealth University. His performances and sound installations have been exhibited nationally and internationally, including shows at The Kitchen, New York; Tate Modern, London; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among others.
