Frequencies is an exhibition featuring a group of contemporary artists who explore the dynamic possibilities of sound. These artists attend to the audible and inaudible traces of the world to create works across sculpture, architecture, video, performance, and image.

Artworks on view foreground the physical, material, embodied, and affective dimensions of sound to amplify hidden histories and imagine possible futures. Some works are attuned to the built and natural environment, while others explore the resonant possibilities of materials like ceramic vessels, modified instruments, and aluminum tapestries. Together, these works invite us to experience sound expansively, beyond what is audible: listening through the body, material, movement, and sensation.

Artists included are Alluvium, Vivian Caccuri, Sofía Córodva, Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez, Nikita Gale, Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork, Sara Ouhaddou, Adrian Piper, Ana Paula Santana, Naama Tsabar, and Karima Walker.

Frequencies also features Channeling the Ear, a dedicated space for intimate listening experiences featuring a selection of albums by artists and musicians such as AGF, Maryanne Amacher, Jessica Ekomane, Christine Sun Kim, Katalin Ladik, Lime Rickey International, Audra Wolowiec, and selections from the collection of Nothing to Commit Records, a research and publishing platform founded by guest curator Bhavisha Panchia. 

Frequencies is organized by Guest Curator Bhavisha Panchia and MOCA Tucson Curator Alexis Wilkinson.

This exhibition was initiated in collaboration with Julio César Morales. Generous support for this exhibition is provided by Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Teiger Foundation, Arizona Commission on the Arts, and MOCA Tucson’s Board of Trustees, Ambassador Council, and Members.
