Project presents
I Never Dream Otherwise than Awake: Journeys in Sound
April 26, 2024 – September 17, 2024
West Bund Museum, Gallery 3
From 26 April to 17 September 2024, the Centre Pompidou × West Bund Museum Project presents the exhibition I Never Dream Otherwise than Awake: Journeys in Sound where an ensemble of nearly 15 major installation works from the Centre Pompidou’s noteworthy new media collection is showcased alongside selected audiovisual art works and sound sculptures from Chinese artists.
The exhibition delves into the expressive potential of sound, particularly its capacity to circulate, to be ubiquitous and to set relationships.
Sound has long been a subject of interest in the history of the visual arts, yet its potential as an artistic medium remains largely untapped. As their works grace the exhibition space, artists from diverse eras and regions converge to initiate a dialogue that transcends the confines of geography, time, and space.
