Angel Nevarez & Valerie Tevere

Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere are a pair of American artists that have been collaborating on video, sound, performance and installation projects since 2001. Several of their projects have been produced under the collective name neuroTransmitter. Their art works often incorporate popular music and examine how visual forms traverse and are complicated once they are at play in public spaces.

Nevarez and Tevere have developed and exhibited works in sites as geographically diverse as the Staten Island Ferry, Plaza de la Liberación in Guadalajara, Austin City Hall's Plaza Stage, and the Museum of Modern Art’s Sculpture Garden in New York. Their work often considers the relationship among politics, sound and language. For instance, in their 2010 performance The War Song, the artists rearranged Culture Club's song of the same name. By slowing the tempo and switching the score to a minor key, Angel and Valerie's version of the song revealed a certain pathos within the seemingly naive lyrics.

The first United States survey of their work occurred at ICA Philadelphia in 2016.
