Geo Wyex is an artist and educator originally from NYC who works in music, performance, poetry and sound. His most recent record, ATM FM (2020), was released through Muck Studies Dept. – a constellational narrative framework and imaginary city agent that surveys the bottom of low-lying water areas, “looking for stars out of what stinks.” Informed by aesthetics and methodologies of black Atlantic poetics, investigative journalism and storytelling theater, the ongoing project connects mud, water, gas, ass, rocks, coins, keys, extractive industry, and sensual expression of belonging to that flood. Wyex has presented work at MoMA PS1, OCD Chinatown, Human Resources, New Museum, Stedelijk Museum, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Dutch National Opera, L’Arsenic, Joe’s Pub etc. He has taught at the Dutch Art Institute, the Piet Zwarte Akademie, Kem School, and many other institutions as a facilitator of performance workshops. He is a full time advisor at the Amsterdam residency program De Ateliers, and he was a resident at the Rijksakademie in 2015-2016. Recent collaborators include A.K. Burns, Every Ocean Hughes, Tina Zavitsanos, Colin Self, and Tourmaline. He is currently based in Rotterdam, NL.
