Andy Graydon
Andy Graydon is an artist and filmmaker based in New York City and Berlin.
His work focuses on the interaction of sound, image, and environment. In his recent
work Andy is interested in creating what he calls "Science Fiction Ecologies" by
engaging with the speculative and transformational qualities within an environment.
Taking the form of videos, sound works, media objects and installations this work
explores the boundary zones between performance and exhibition, presence and
deferral, liveness and mediation.

Berlin, the Worldwide Video Festival, Amsterdam, and the Portland Art Center, Oregon.
Recent exhibitions and performances in New York City include work at The New
Museum of Contemporary Art, LMAKprojects gallery, Diapason, Art In General,

Workshop, White Box gallery, and Tonic. In 2005/2006 he was the visiting artist at the
Center for Computer Music, Brooklyn College, CUNY.

2 CD compilation
Excerpt of Disc 2
Andy Graydon - "The piece is two discs (cd's), that split a speech made by Liam Gillick into two streams: one disc contains all the object-names (all the nouns, essentially) in his speech, and the other contains all the other language, minus the nouns. It's a very conceptual piece based on a cd that he released this year. The discs can be played together, or separately, as an installation, or just on a stereo. It's not music, but a work that bridges post-conceptualism and sound art."
