Musical Thinking: New Video Art and Sonic Strategies
June 16, 2023–January 29, 2024
Smithsonian American Art Museum
Musical Thinking explores the powerful resonances between recent video art and popular music. The exhibition focuses on video art that employs the strategies of musical creation—scores, improvisation, and interpretation—as well as its styles, structures, and lyrics to speak to personal as well as shared aspects of American life.
