Exhibition B: Downtown Core (West)

Sound and Vision

Through a range of multi-sensory experiences, languages and forms, Sound and Vision explores how art and popular music create, anticipate, and document some of our most inspired, passionate and widely appreciated cultural moments. These musical “notes” generate sub-rosa histories and collective imaginaries that are transmitted across borders through the body, live performance, radio waves and recent technologies of communication. The convergence of sound and vision encompasses both presence and signification, opening up multiple levels of communication and ecstasy.
