Sounding Selves

Commissioned text by artist Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay. Editor: Heather Anderson.

Sounding Selves investigated aspects of our aural experience of the world through works that emphasize the acts of listening, embodying and (re)producing sound. Comprising video as well as an audio installation and a performance, the exhibition explored the manner in which sound takes on social, cultural and political resonances that are foundational to communication, the formation of identity and the expression of self. The exhibition featured works by Antonia Hirsch, Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, Jani Ruscica, Anri Sala, and Jana Sterbak.
