Sound Thoughts on Art

22

The arts can engage all our senses, but it’s in the crossover between them that things really get interesting. When we listen to music, what do we see in our mind’s eye? When we look at a work of art, what do we hear? Sound Thoughts on Art, a new podcast from the National Gallery of Art, explores the intersection of sight and sound.Hosted by musician and journalist Celeste Headlee, each episode focuses on a work of art in the National Gallery’s collection. Learn about the work and its context and hear a musician respond to that work through sound, creating a dialogue between visual art and music. Sound Thoughts on Art tells the stories of how we experience art and how it connects us.

    Fantastic
    I love thinking about visual art by incorporating another sense (in this case hearing). Great idea to add another dimension to the appreciation of art. Keep at it!

    Each episode of this new podcast is excellent. I have listened to each of them more than once! This is one of the best productions, if not THE best production, coming out of the National Gallery right now.
