Seeing Sound is an expansive
exhibition that explores the current trajectory of sound as a dynamic
branch of contemporary art practice, curated by Barbara London. The
exhibition features seven artists based around the world—Seth Cluett, Juan Cortés, Auriea Harvey, Bani Haykal, Yuko Mohri, Aura Satz, and Samson Young. For Seeing Sound, the artworks
take shape as kinetic sculpture, audio-video installation, and
visitor-responsive technologies. With headphones notably absent, the
exhibition consists of complex environmental sonic experiences, where
each artwork simultaneously allows for multiple modes of communal
listening.
