Interrogating the complex relationship between grief and personal identity, Tendler creates an immersive environment that meditates on the ways we attach ourselves to memories and physical objects, and the possibilities for letting them go. Layering music, text, visuals, and found objects, this semi-autobiographical work includes notes, voice memos, and personal objects sourced from the local Green-Wood community.

Adam Tendler, Green-Wood’s third artist in residence, is a New York based pianist and author. He is recipient of the Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists and the 2022 Yvar Mikhashoff Prize, and a Yamaha Artist.
