Pianist, composer and visual artist, Adam Tendler, began to ponder the “gesture of responsibility with inheritances,” when he received a wad of cash in a manilla envelope upon the death of his father. Through his compositions, piano performances and work as the Artist-in-Residence at the historic Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY, he explores both the gifts we receive gratefully as well as those we never asked for and might not want. Or, in his words, “When the rituals have been completed, what do we do with the socks?” Tendler used his inheritance from his father to commission other artists to compose pieces for him to perform in Inheritances. As the Artist in Residence at Green-Wood Cemetery, he invited the community to contribute items they inherited to create the Exit Strategy exhibit.
Through interviews with writers, musicians, visual artists and storytellers, The Art of Grief explores how artists use their craft to engage and re-design the architecture of their grief. As they discuss their work, a reassurance is offered - that though we might grieve alone, we are never alone in our grief.
