Exhibitions:
Sound of Music

Turner Contemporary Project Space, Margate
Saturday 4th April to Sunday 14th June

Music is a vast experimental field for contemporary artists. Sound of Music is an exhibition exploring the links between art and music based on the collection of the FRAC Nord – Pas de Calais. From the experiments in sound and composition of artists such as John Cage and La Monte Young, to interactive sculpture and installations by Pierre Huyghe and Angela Bulloch, the exhibition mines the rich territory in which the audio and the visual intersect.
