Bio:

Geo Wyex  (b. 1984, New York City) is an artist and educator, based between Rotterdam, NL and New York City.  Geo makes sound, performance, and poetry. His 2024 solo exhibition Nobody Wade Never Too Much at JOAN (Los Angeles) featured contributions and creative support from collaborators and technicians Constantina Zavitsanos, S*an D. Henry-Smith, Kamron Hazel, NDNMK Solutions, and Ghaith kween Qoutainy. Geo’s most recent record muck NO study STARS (2025), was recorded in New Orleans and Rotterdam, and released through Muck Studies Dept. –  an imaginary city agency, who wades through low-lying waters, “looking for stars out of what stinks.”  Muck Study looks to the conditions that ground and unground the possibility of a black and trans historical telling, taking up feminist methodologies of haptics and poetics — invoking dissonance and distortion — and investigating field/wave theory and unreliable narrative.


Workshop by Fernanda González Morales “Ternura Radical: a vibrant approach to matter.”

This workshop will revolve around the performative potential of artistic research; departing from our bodies as a threshold of experience we will embark on a quick journey of discovering affect, relationality, and conditions of life. Focusing on movement and relationality we will direct our attention to how to frame, construct, and enable alternative understandings of the body (not only human but other forms of life). We will explore somatically the relationships to different materials, objects, and situations, and reflect on the performative elements of these relationships.
