Description

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art explores and delineates what Sound Art is in the 21st century. Sound artworks today embody the contemporary and transcultural trends towards the post-apocalyptic, a wide sensorial spectrum of sonic imaginaries as well as the decolonization and deinstitutionalization around the making of sound.

Within the areas of musicology, art history, and, later, sound studies, Sound Art has evolved at least since the 1980s into a turbulent field of academic critique and aesthetic analysis. Summoning artists, researchers, curators, and critics, this volume takes note of and reflects the most recent shifts and drifts in Sound Art—rooted in sonic histories and implying future trajectories.

The Wire calls it a timely and important collection that pushes debates on sound art into new territories, highlighting sound as a powerful operative force. Organised Sound praises the volume for applying social and art historical theory to sound art, especially its socially engaged and politically intentional works. SoundEffects and the Journal of Sonic commend it as an innovative, comprehensive, and essential resource for both theorists and practitioners.
