The catalogue – including an audio CD – is a record of the exhibition “Silenzio. Una mostra da ascoltare”, which brings together the works of fifty international artists and performers, many well-established while others are now emerging, produced from the 1960s down to the present, in which sound is the object of inquiry, observed as a cultural artifact, used as an instrument of expression, explored as an aesthetic sphere of experience. Therefore not pure sound abstracted from its origins but a symphony of notes and noises whose source remains recognizable, the referent revealed and placed at the center of the narrative. Audio and video works, installations and performances, which do not foster a perception of sound in itself but instill multiple associations relating the auditory universe to the sphere of everyday life.
