In her Aural exhibition, curator Alexandra Laudo offers a series of encounters with invisibility. Museums closed due to the covid pandemic, stolen works of art leaving their aura behind, and performative artistic gestures become the material to be intertwined in this narrative constructed by bits and fragments.

“The Aural Exhibitions” are a series of sound only exhibitions produced by Index – The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation. We would like to thank Institut Ramon Llull for their support with this exhibition.
