This artistic exercise in listening features five site-specific works of sound-based art by distinguished national and local artists. In One Voice, Taraneh Hemami interlinks speaking, lullabies, whispers and shouts within a sculptural installation of tube-like clusters. Sound artist Walter Kitundu invites guests to sit in a handmade rocking chair and listen to compositions emanating from surrounding trees. The immersive sculptures and soundscapes—commissioned specifically for Montalvo—are reminders to listen more attentively to the world and one another. Now Hear This! is free and open to the public during regular Montalvo hours and will run through Oct. 22.

Now Hear This!
Fri, 6pm, Free
