Angel Nevarez

Mexico City-born Angel Nevarez is a multidisciplinary artist and musician working in sound, radio, photography, and video. Prior to his collaboration with Tevere, Nevarez worked with Alex Rivera to produce The LowDrone, a project that melds the lowrider—a customized vehicle with hydraulics—with the functionality of the drone—an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with surveillance cameras. Initially commissioned for InSITE 2005, The LowDrone is the world’s first flying lowrider. Nevarez’s awards include a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, a Franklin Furnace Fund grant, and a Van Lier Fellowship from the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program.
