MassArt x SoWa is pleased to present the gallery’s eleventh alumni curatorial project, UNCOMMON ATMOSPHERES: Reflecting on the Matter of Sound, on view February 22 - April 13, 2025.

Sound shapes our experience, enveloping us in sonic atmospheres that we instinctively use to understand the world. In Uncommon Atmospheres, four interdisciplinary artists use sound as a sensing modality to investigate the environmental media of air and water, infrastructures such as national borders, and the materiality of soundscapes on other planets. The artists draw connections between sound as a source of information, a material, an environmental indicator, and an atmospheric scaling device, raising questions about borders, heritage, the environment, and planetary phenomena.

Curated by Sebastian Gonzalez Quintero (MFA '21 Film/Video)
