On Sound and Space: Study Day for Displaying, Collecting and Preserving Sound Pieces

Collaborative seminar between British Art Network and Contemporary Art Society Subject Specialist Network on the topic of sound based art. 

This one day collaborative seminar brought together the two networks to explore the different aspects of displaying, collecting and preserving sound pieces. The seminar presented a series of short papers from invited artists, academics and curators followed by panel discussions and opportunities for networking.

This seminar focused on different aspects of displaying, collecting and preserving sound pieces. Discussing current commissions (Katrina Palmer, The Quarryman’s Daughters for Art Angel); exhibitions and recent sound displays (for example, Susan Phillipzs: War Damaged Musical Instruments) the group considered current theoretical, practical and institutional issues dealing with artists working with sounds as a sculptural medium, informing the networks about current practices in contemporary art.
