I don’t believe in silent art. Perhaps the shuffling of the feet, or the occasional rude phone conversation may be considered to be a unique soundtrack for the museum. The space where art must be observed uninterrupted. But I have another idea. I imagine sonic installations played along contemporary art. I once went into an exhibit while listening to William Basinski and Richard Chartier’s Untitled 1-3. I stood in front of an abstract and moody painting listening to a twenty minute piece… until the paint began to melt… and then I heard and saw it all. I hope the following works can enhance your experience. Even if that art is imaginary, deep inside your psyche, completely your own.
