SOUND SPANDREL : MMAA
Featured in "Sound In Art/ Art in Sound" exhibition
Minnesota Mueum of American Art
St Paul, MN
April 14 - July 1, 2007

For this exhibition I assembled an acoustic portrait of the MMAA's "silent" gallery space integrating recordings I made both inside and outside the museum itself, borrowing the architectural concept of the spandrel (the v-shaped space between two arches). "Sound Spandrel: MMAA" is a headphone installation that foregrounds the peripheral and parenthetical, at times emphasizing and de-emphasizing frequency ranges to reveal a hidden world within everyday soundscapes.

The first exhibition in the Twin Cities to focus solely on the role of sound in art, "Sound In Art/ Art In Sound" showcased the many forms of sound-- as mechanical, temporal, dynamic, collected and altered. The artwork brings "noise" from the background of our daily lives to the foreground of our consciousness.
