A4 Arts Foundation is a not-for-profit collective that explores and tests the role of art in society. You can see what they’re all about at a free audio sensory exhibition, Sounding the Void, Imaging the Orchestra V.1, taking place in their gallery space in Buitenkant Street until 22 August 2019.
Curated by Bhavisha Panchia, the exhibition is an extension of her research and curatorial work, which focused on practices of listening and the politics of sound. She says, “I started from the proposition: how we listen determines what we hear.”
WHY VISIT THE EXHIBITION?
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR
Jenna Sutela, nimiia cétiï, 2018: This exhibition uses bacteria and machine learning to channel messages from entities that usually cannot speak. Watch to learn more.
