Sound is an integral part of contemporary art. Once understood to
be a marginal practice, increasingly we encounter sound in art
exhibitions through an array of sound making works in various art
forms, at times played to very high audio levels. However, works of
art are far from the only thing one might hear: music performances,
floor talks, exhibition openings and the noisy background sounds
that emanate from the gallery cafe fill contemporary exhibition
environments. Far from being hallowed spaces of quiet reflection,
what this means is that galleries have swiftly become very noisy
places. As such, a straightforward consideration of artworks alone
can then no longer account for our experiences of art galleries and
museums. To date there has been minimal scholarship directed
towards the intricacies of our experiences of sound that occur
within the bounds of this purportedly 'visual' art space. Kelly
addresses this gap in knowledge through the examination of
historical and contemporary sound in gallery environments,
broadening our understanding of artists who work with sound, the
institutions that exhibit these works, and the audiences that visit
them. Gallery Sound argues for the importance of all of the sounds
to be heard within the walls of art spaces, and in doing so listens
not only to the deliberate inclusion of sound within the art
gallery in the form of artworks, performances, and music, but also
to its incidental sounds, such as their ambient sounds and the
noise generated by audiences. More than this, however, Gallery
Sound turns its attention to the ways in which the acoustic
characteristics specific to gallery spaces have been mined by
artists for creative outputs, ushering in entirely new art forms.
