Saturdays in September 2010 Diapason hosts Vociferous: Sound Works by 21 Contemporary Colombian Artists. The show opens on Thursday, September 2 with a special performance by Ricardo Arias and Carlos Gómez. Installations by the shows 21 artists will run every Saturday in September from 2pm to 8pm.

Curated by Colombian electroacoustic composer and improviser Ricardo Arias, Vociferous: Sound Works by 21 Contemporary Colombian Artists presents an overview of the current state of sound art in Colombia. It is the first exhibition of its kind to be presented outside of the country, and one of a few recent curatorial initiatives to bring together sound works by artists from a variety of disciplines such as electroacoustic music, video art, sound installation art, and sound sculpture. One of the virtues of the term “sound art,” however vague and undefinable it might be, is precisely that it allows for such a grouping together of apparently disparate practices.
