The curators at partner art galleries search the sound palette to find audio material that would complement their individual artworks and combine them for unique audience experiences at each gallery.
The project included a partnership with James Hurley, composer and sound artist from the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS).
[3] The Art of Sound was supported by the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program (an Australian Government program which supports projects that make collections available to all Australians).
The exhibition sound palette included original compositions of Archie Roach and Percy Grainger, performances of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Dame Joan Sutherland, and Skyhooks, speeches, experimental works by Scattered Order, the spoken word, and environmental recordings of Not Drowning Waving.
Other artists included the Dirty Three, Mark Atkins, Hunter & Collectors, and The Necks.
