Brett Sroka is a composer and interdisciplinary artist traversing the spheres of contemporary music, art and technology. Taking the form of music, sculpture, sound and video installation, his work has been presented at The New Museum in New York City, Manifesta 12 Palermo, Italy, Roulette in Brooklyn, NY, the Institute of Electronic Arts at Alfred University, NY and the Galway Jazz Festival in Ireland. He has released six records of original music, working with musicians such as Jason Moran, Avishai Cohen and Mary Halvorsen. In 2015 he initiated the performance program at Levy Gorvy Gallery in New York City (now LGDR), where he curates aesthetic dialogues between the performing and visual arts for their regular series of exhibition events. In 2023-24 he will premiere a new audio/video installation in a group exhibition at the Galway Arts Centre and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, as the result of an ecologically centered multi-year residency at Interface in Connemara, Western Ireland. Sroka currently lives and works between New York and Istanbul.
