Inside this new art gallery in Soho, there's nothing to see-no paintings on the wall, no sculptures on pedestals, no avant-garde video projections on screens. Instead, French sound art gallery Le Son 7 spotlights art you can hear.
Curator Andy Footner founded the gallery with Carolina Podestá after noticing that universities hosted sound art programs and wondering what those students went on to create after graduation. The co-founders sourced a variety of different types of sound art, some that lean more musical, some that create an auditory collage, and others that incorporate field recordings.
Some of these works stretch you a bit, but they're all really nice to listen to. "It's an invitation to take a bit of time and you don't have to do anything else," he said.
