HUGH HAYDEN AND GLENDALYS MEDINA

Glendalys Medina and Hugh Hayden speak about their backgrounds, their practices, and their works featured in the Wallach Gallery's exhibition Uptown Triennial 2020 with Wallach Director and Chief Curator, Betti-Sue Hertz.

Glendalys Medina is an Afro-Caribbean Nuyorican conceptual interdisciplinary visual artist who was born in Puerto Rico and raised in the Bronx. Medina investigates how patterns like habits, perspective, and value structures download into our psyche.

Hugh Hayden’s practice considers the anthropomorphization of the natural world as a visceral lens for exploring the human condition. Hayden transforms familiar objects through a process of selection, carving and juxtaposition to challenge our perceptions of ourselves, others and the environment.
