English : Sound in Context is a short documentary exploring the unique practice of sound within the visual arts world.Through conversations with a number of key art institutions/galleries, artists and curators working with sound in the UK and abroad, Sound in Context allows practitioners to discuss some of the issues of presenting and exhibiting sound in the gallery and contemporary art domain. Initially conceived as an online information and resource tool to be presented on the Sound and Music website, Sound in Context was an attempt to expand our understanding of sound based art practice, explore its close relationship with experimental music, investigate art and music audience expectation and to ascertain the art forms potential to raise its profile within the visually dominated contemporary art world. Sound as a medium is time-based and is sensitive to space, perception/experience and environment, and has become intertwined with disciplines of sculpture, architecture, installation, film and media art. The ephemeral, invisible nature of sound poses a number of challenges within cultural practice and presentation. Situated between practices of music and art, sound overflows boundaries of the gallery, disrupts the line between stage and audience, moves beyond categorizations, and merges models of economy and culture industry. Sound in Context explores the place and future of sound within an expanded arts milieu, while opening up reflections for sound artists engaging in the art world, and visual artists engaging with sound in their work.
