The Chicago Sound Show
September 27, 2019 - December 31, 2019
FreeThis outdoor sound art exhibition presents site-specific works by nine Chicago artists that explore thresholds, passageways, and common spaces across the University of Chicago’s campus.
The Chicago Sound Show is the first exhibition to showcase Chicago’s extraordinary sound art scene in over three decades. The participating artists will create new works for historic and modern outdoor sites across the University’s campus, includingSwift Cloister Garden, Campus North Residential Commons, Cobb Gate, Botany Pond, and the Smart Museum of Art courtyard. Through use of “found sound,” meditative human voice, acoustic archaeology, and more, the works reveal and amplify the architectural peculiarities of campus while enriching our sensual knowledge of space.
