Ariel Bybee Endowment Prize Winners ‘23
Sister-and-brother artists from Buenos Aires, Susana and Gonzalo Silva, were selected as the 2023 Prize winners of the Ariel Bybee Endowment at the Center, an annual award that rotates between 9 artistic categories.
The 2023 prize theme was visual artwork, inspired by a specific piece of music of the artist’s choosing. Their winning proposal references a fellow Argentinean and female pioneer of electroacoustic music in Latin America, Hilda Dianda (b. 1925). The Silvas’ exhibition is a mixed-media installation exploring two distinct frameworks: the dialogue between graphical music notation and its relationship with contemporary visual art; and a review of Latin American, female representation within the canon of contemporary musical history.
The pair of artists will be traveling to New York from Buenos Aires, Argentina to install the show, and will be present for the opening reception to celebrate that exhibition.
