Relation: A Performance Residency by Vijay Iyer in The Met Breuer’s Lobby Gallery. Iyer highlights his full body of work, performing solo, and with other musicians and performers. He also created sound installations and curated video content specifically for the gallery, resulting in full-day performance experiences.
“Vijay Iyer is one of the most contemplative and visionary artists creating music today,” said Limor Tomer, General Manager of Concerts & Lectures. “His approach to composition is so exploratory that this residency has developed into a deep integration of his perception as an artist, and the ideas present in The Met’s collection and spaces.”
