The Kimball Art Center in Park City, Utah, is preparing to open its upcoming exhibition "(Re)sounding" on May 15, curated by Nancy Stoaks. The show explores the relationship between sound and visual art through immersive installations, interactive systems, and soundscape sculptures by artists including Jon Bernson, Christine Sun Kim, Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller, Yuri Suzuki, Mary Toscano, and Andrew Rease Shaw. The exhibition coincides with the center's 50th anniversary and its ongoing mission to make contemporary art accessible and personal.
This exhibition matters because it reflects a growing trend in contemporary art toward multisensory and participatory experiences, challenging traditional definitions of art. By inviting visitors to engage with sound as something to inhabit and shape, "(Re)sounding" positions the Kimball Art Center as a vital cultural hub in the Mountain West, fostering deep listening and community connection. The show also highlights the center's enduring commitment to founder Bill Kimball's vision of art as both accessible and transformative.
