Support 'The Sound of Art'

The Sound of Art will be featuring the score from Jennifer Schmidt's Psychic Swatch video that was included in EFA Project Space's exhibition Beyond a Memorable Fancy!

The Sound of Art  is a limited edition vinyl LP organized by Art Fag City's Paddy Johnson and composed of sounds heard in New York galleries, museums, and project spaces over the last five years. It features forty tracks of diverse sounds culled from art video, performance footage, and kinetic sculptures. This is an audio document and a tool to create new sounds and new work. Please support this ambitious and unique project by contributing to the Kickstarter campaign by October 7th!
