Cevdet Erek’s practice engages with sound as a sculptural form, bringing together multiple registers of history with music composition and spatial experience. Trained as an architect and sound engineer, and active as a musician, he assembles installations that reconfigure how a visitor perceives space–tuning into the material qualities of architecture and the social, historical, and geographical conditions they occupy. Americas arranges five of Erek’s site-responsive sonic works, developed over the last decade for projects in Mexico City, Chicago, San Francisco, São Paulo, and the US Embassy in The Hague, alongside a new commission for SculptureCenter. Erek’s site-specific practice operates across various registers. When working at a distance, he borrows locals’ “eyes, ears, minds, and experiences,” like in Measures Taken (2026).
