Susan Philipsz is presenting a new exhibition titled "East by West" at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, opening June 13, 2025. The show features the artist's signature sound-based installations, exploring themes of geography, memory, and displacement through audio works that blend field recordings and musical compositions.
This exhibition matters because Philipsz, a Turner Prize-winning artist, continues to push the boundaries of how sound functions as a sculptural and spatial medium in contemporary art. Her work challenges traditional visual art hierarchies and invites audiences to experience space through listening, reinforcing the growing recognition of sound art within major galleries and museums worldwide.
