The Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Western Art is the first
book to examine, under one umbrella, different kinds of analogies,
mutual influences, integrations and collaborations of audio and
visual in different art forms: painting, sculpture, installation,
architecture, performance art, animation, film, video art, visual
music, multimedia, experimental music, sound art, opera, theatre
and dance. Sitting at the cutting edge of the field of music and
visual arts, the book offers a unique, at times controversial view
of this rapidly evolving area of study. The book is organized
around three core thematic sections. The first, Sights &
Sounds, concentrates on interaction between the experience of
seeing and the experience of hearing. Sound, Space & Matter
expands the idea of music to include environmental sounds,
vibrating frequencies, homemade instruments, linguistic utterances,
noise and silence. Architecture, likewise, faces a similar
discourse that examines non-material spaces, environments, human
habitats, performances, destruction and void. Enhanced by advanced
digital technologies, this aesthetic shift opened the door for
endless experiments, which give a new context to theoretical issues
such as medium, matter and process in creating and perceiving art.
In the third section, Performance, Performativity & Text, music
as a performing art provides the point of departure. The new light
shed by modernism and the avant-garde on the performative aspect of
music have led it - together with sound and text - to become active
in new ways in contemporary dance, theatre and the visual arts. The
chapters in the handbook make and prove their arguments using case
studies in contemporary art, music, and sound as illustrations,
building upon exsiting thought as a foundation for discussion.
Artists, curators, students and scholars will find here a panoramic
view of cutting-edge discourse in the field, by an international
roster of scholars and practitioners.
