Composer, choreographer, and performer Meredith Monk has been awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement by the organizers of the Sixty-Ninth Venice Biennale Musica.
“Meredith Monk has revolutionized music and the performing arts with an approach that has expanded the potential of the human voice, transforming it into a vehicle for unprecedented sonic exploration,” the organizers of the Biennale said in a statement. “Her wordless incantations and ability to build entire sonic worlds from the simplest gestures give rise to a dialogue between matter and spirit, between presence and transcendence. Her work cannot be confined within historical categories, but opens up a living universe of sound, in constant evolution, which appears both ancient and radically innovative at the same time.”
