As part of the Clark’s 25th anniversary of its Research and Academic Program, Ragona presents “AFTERSOUND: Frequency, Attack, Return” in a panel exploring sound’s impact on contemporary art practice and theory.
On June 28, Professor Cash Ragona will speak at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of its Research and Academic Program (RAP). Centered on the theme Writing Art History, the four-day symposium convenes scholars and artists to examine how the practice of writing art history is evolving in today’s expanded media landscape.
Ragona’s talk, AFTERSOUND: Frequency, Attack, Return, contributes to a panel exploring the “sonic turn” that has reshaped art history, theory, and contemporary practice over the past two decades. The session brings together interdisciplinary voices to consider how sonic methods and aesthetics inform the writing of visual and time-based media — and what they might offer to curatorial and museum practices more broadly.
The panel takes place from 2:30–5:30pm and is free and open to the public with advance registration. Register here, or for more information, call 413-458-0524.
