21:23 Soundings: A Contemporary Score | |
The Museum of Modern Art presents Soundings: A Contemporary Score,
the first group exhibition at MoMA to single out sound as a form of
artistic expression, and one of the first of its kind in New York. The
exhibition is on view from August 10 to November 3, 2013, in the
third-floor Special Exhibitions Gallery and other locations around the
Museum. Soundings features the work of 16 contemporary artists working
with sound, from the United States, Uruguay, Norway, Denmark, England,
Scotland, Germany, Australia, Japan, and Taiwan. With a broad
understanding of art, architecture, performance, telecommunications,
philosophy, and music, these artists move comfortably among mediums,
while listening and hearing remain central to their practice. Soundings is
organized by Barbara London, Associate Curator, with Leora Morinis,
Curatorial Assistant, Department of Media and Performance Art, MoMA. At a time when the experience of sound is increasingly private—delivered through earbuds and headphones—Soundings is
a communal exploration of how and what we hear, and what we might make
of it. Sound art, still a relatively undefined territory, satisfies
artists’ urge to pioneer new forms. They inventively link sound both to
the other human senses and to a variety of rich metaphysical and
philosophical projects, and their works run the gamut from immersive
tuned environments to sound-emitting objects to conceptual schematics on
paper. The works include architectural interventions, visualizations of
otherwise inaudible sound, an exploration of how sound ricochets within
a gallery, and a range of field recordings of everything from bats to
abandoned buildings in Chernobyl to 59 bells in New York City to a
factory in Taiwan. The artists in the exhibition are Luke Fowler (Scottish, b. 1978),
Toshiya Tsunoda (Japanese, b. 1964), Marco Fusinato (Australian, b.
1964), Richard Garet (Uruguayan, b. 1972), Florian Hecker (German, b.
1975), Christine Sun Kim (American, b. 1980), Jacob Kirkegaard (Danish,
b. 1975), Haroon Mirza (British, b. 1977), Carsten Nicolai (German, b.
1965), Camille Norment (American, b. 1970), Tristan Perich (American, b.
1982), Susan Philipsz (Scottish, b. 1965), Sergei Tcherepnin (American,
b. 1981), Hong-Kai Wang (Taiwanese, b. 1971), Jana Winderen (Norwegian,
b. 1965), and Stephen Vitiello (American, b. 1964). The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue, with
texts by Barbara London and writer Anne Hilde Neset, and an artists’
interview section coordinated by Leora Morinis. Soundings is
also accompanied by evening music events, a film program, and a Sound
Lab in The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building.
