Do you hear the invisible sound?: Art Agenda, S'pore
Do you hear the invisible sound? is an inventive group exhibition of Indonesian and Singaporean contemporary practitioners bringing to the fore the ‘hidden’ auralscape of visual works. Sound artist Kurt Peterson has created soundtracks to accompany the visual works, each derived from field recordings that have been uniquely modified in response to the artworks on display.
The exhibition unites diverse topics to emphasise the significance of pursuing clarity amidst the abundance of noise in our world today. It is an invitation for audiences to truly look - and listen - to art.

Curated by Stella Wenny and Nabila Giovanna, the exhibition unites diverse topics to emphasise the significance of pursuing clarity amidst the abundance of noise in our world today: Gabriel Aries Setiadi’s sculptures reveal the importance of dialogue between two opposing materials. Ajeng Martia Saputri’s resin flowers speak the tender language of motherhood. Daniel Chong’s installation reflects upon the complexities of yearning for acceptance and care. TEMPA’s Cosmic Patterns works find harmony connecting tangible and intangible elements. Sound artist Kurt Peterson guides our entry into the realm of the auditory, creating soundtracks derived from field recordings that have been uniquely modified in response to the artworks on display. Expanding the field of relational aesthetics, Kurt has selected, spliced and synthesised different sound elements from diverse contexts, akin to a painter at work in front of a canvas.
