Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Sound Scene XII: AMPLIFY, organized by sound collective DC Listening Lounge, unites local audio artists with national and international creators to transform the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden into an interactive sonic wonderland.

This year Sound Scene will “AMPLIFY” invisible forces, previously silenced voices, and unexpected music through stories, sound art, live performances, and interactive exhibits. Sound Scene XII: AMPLIFY will expand your audio expectations in ways you haven’t yet imagined.

Joining from Italy will be the artistic duo SANDFORD&GOSTI presenting their installation Suspended Rocks at the Hirschhorn’s Plaza. Suspended Rocks is an expression of the need for balance and contrast, structure and tension, harmony and inclusivity. It illustrates the simultaneous existence of manmade and natural objects, reflecting on the concept of "sustainability" – the fragile transparent ecosystem that sustains the weight and solidity of human impact - and of contrasting identities that work together to create a single world.
