Naama Tsabar in ‘The Musical Brain’, on various locations on the High Line, New York

The Musical Brain is a group exhibition that reflects on the power music has to bring us together. The exhibition is named after a short story by the Argentine contemporary writer César Aira, and explores the ways that artists use music as a tool to inhabit and understand the world. The featured artists approach music through different lenses—historical, political, performative, and playful—to create new installations and soundscapes installed throughout the park.

Douglas Gordon / …and his friends

Dvir Gallery is delighted to share that Douglas Gordon’s new solo show, ‘…and his friends’, opens on October 18, 2021 in the Albion Barn.
