Bio
Dylan Gauthier (he/him) is an artist, curator, and educator whose work centers on listening as practice, method, and politics, and on fostering exchanges with the more-than-human world. Working across sound, text, performance, video, sculpture, and architecture, he develops research-based and collaborative projects that explore the ecological, social, and historical conditions of compromised sites. Gauthier’s work draws on deep listening, acoustic ecology, and field-based research to attune to hidden narratives within landscapes, and to imagine more just, interdependent futures.
Gauthier’s solo and collective projects have been exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, Parrish Art Museum, Brandywine Museum of Art, CCVA at Harvard, the Walker Art Center, and ISCP, among other venues in the US and abroad. His writing on art, public space, and environmental imaginaries has appeared in Contemporary Art Stavanger, Urban Omnibus, Parrish Art Museum, and Routledge/Public Art Dialogue.
He has held residencies and fellowships with the International Studio and Curatorial Program (as NEA Ecological Artist-in-Residence), Socrates Sculpture Park, Brandywine Conservancy, Shandaken: Storm King, and Eyebeam. He co-founded the boat-building and publishing collective Mare Liberum; the Sunview Luncheonette, a cooperative space for art and communalism in Brooklyn; and, with Mariel Villeré, Freshkills Field R/D, an artist-research residency at New York City’s former landfill.
From 2018–2022, he was Director and Chief Curator at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Project Space in NYC. Gauthier is Associate Curator at More Art, Research Director for the Wright-Ingraham Institute, and is a Visiting Assistant Professor in Environmental Studies at Haverford College.
