Overtones: Sound and Art
This exhibition marks the Museum’s first large-scale presentation devoted to a range of works in which sound serves as the starting point and very foundation.
The exhibition features important pieces from the Museum’s collections, international loans, together with site-specific works created especially for the show, by prominent Israeli artists whose creative explorations prioritize sound as the underpinning of
their works.
