Walker Downey on the Multimodal Turn in Sound Art
For Art in America, Walker Downey describes recent trends in sound art that “suggest a revision of its parameters.” Drawing on works by multidisciplinary artists Kevin Beasley (image: A Cotton Gin Motor, 2012-18) Christine Sun Kim, and Nikita Gale, Downey forges connections between 1980s and early 2000s sound practice, and uses his case studies to discuss the emergence of “sound sculptures,” and multimodal deployments of sound that challenge ”logics of power and prejudice.”
