Pratt Manhattan Gallery and Independent Curators International hosted a conversation with curator Barbara London and internationally acclaimed artists Marina Rosenfeld and Blake Marques Carrington. The three discussed the opportunities and challenges afforded by sound-based art, including the ways in which new tools and working methods have impacted both artistic and curatorial practice and what it means to work with art that is in a perpetual state of flux. Taking as its starting point the exhibition Seeing Sound—curated by London and currently on view at Pratt Manhattan Gallery through December 17—the conversation explored how curators and artists think about the presentation and interpretation of sound in institutions that have historically privileged the visual.

Blake Marques Carrington works within the spheres of sound, visual, and the performing arts. His work explores technology’s relationship with the natural world and the built environment, and is realized largely as audiovisual installations, performances, and inkjet paintings. He is an Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Art + Technology Program at Pratt’s Digital Arts and Animation Department.

Marina Rosenfeld works across the disciplinary boundaries of visual art and music, and has created a body of work spanning sound, music and performance, sculpture, video and installation. Rosenfeld is the recipient of the 2024 Alpert Award in Visual Art, and is currently featured in the 2024 Gwangju Biennial in South Korea. 

Barbara London is a curator, advocate for the arts, and writer with a practice that revolves around media, installation, and sound art produced internationally. She is the author of Video Art: The First Fifty Years (Phaidon, 2020/2024).
