Sound Invasions

Sound Invasions with Fabio Lattanzi Antinori, Mary Sherman and Paul Thomas is a curated series of artworks which literally invade and pervade the space, bleeding out of their assigned institutional frameworks. As part of a collaboration between OCR, New York University, Steinhardt, The Metropolitan Opera House, Boston University and Goldsmiths, University of London – these internationally peer reviewed artworks are exhibited in New York Cities at http://www.harvestworks.org. The artworks with their sounds challenge traditional institutional perspectives and provide immersive environments, critical interactions and performative spectacles which move beyond the traditional idea of what art should be and how it should be exhibited.

Challenged and challenging traditional perspectives, restrictions and expectations the artworks escape and engage, bleed out and mix with an environment in New York city that is both accepting and intolerant, welcoming and hostile. The artworks exist as a temporary carving out of space made possible by the artworks’ nature, the resistance of the artist and the persistence of the curators. Critical engagements, reflections and inward self reflections each of the artworks presents a different version of the world within which which sound is a stranger invading and pervading the space, making it its own but at the same time unfathomably escaping from it.
