Glenda León: Listening To Silence 

Magnan Metz Gallery is proud to announce Listening to Silence, the first U.S. solo exhibition for Cuban artist, Glenda León. Listening to Silence will be on view from January 12 – February 18, 2012 with an artist reception on Thursday, January 12th from 6-8PM.

True listening—that in which we empty ourselves of thought and ego, to let in the word and the presence of another entirely, is becoming more and more rare. In a world filled with haste, stress, and an increasing disconnect between human and nature- a sense of blindness and deafness is building greater with each day. To listen totally and completely is to leave behind our inner noise, brought on by desires, preoccupations, fears and frustrations that too often invade our minds. It is a deeper way to approach and understand the other, the world, and ultimately ourselves. In Listening to Silence, the artist tries to influence the acts of looking and listening from a new point of view: seeing the sounds, hearing the images.
