BEYOND THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE: LATIN-AMERICAN ARTISTS CONNECTING ART, SOUND AND SOCIETY
The Lowe Art Museum presents BEYOND THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE, a project curated by the Aluna Curatorial Collective that brings together a group of 19 Latin American artist working with sound art and its social intersections.
The exhibition includes the work of artists born in ten Latin-American countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Perú, Uruguay and Venezuela. The synergy generated from all the pieces combined creates the atmosphere of an acoustic, visual and conceptual “concert” at the museum. There is an exploration of ancestral traditions –mixing the local and the universal–, subverting the linearity of time, blurring the line of impersonal technologies and each artist’s poetic and artistic practice.

“The sounds created by several of the artists are unique because the come from instruments invented or reinvented by these creators. In some cases, the instruments produce sounds that are not audible and arise only from memory –or from ways of hearing their sound when no one plays them. There are pieces that deconstructu, remake cipher, transmute, mute, ore amplify musical instruments using animal sounds and the human voice, or songs and words from endangered languages”, explains the Aluna Curatorial Collective.
Participating artists:
Muu Blanco, Tatiana Blass, Vivian Caccuri, Sonia Falcone, Magdalena Fernández, Richard Garet, María Elena González, Iván Grillo, Manuel Rocha Iturbide, Glenda León, Antonio Vega, Macotela, Gustavo Matamoros, Yucef Merhi, Cecilia Paredes, Rolando Peña, Enrique Ramírez, Alba Triana, and Nicolás Varchausky.
