Exhibition on sound art has room to listen to vinyl and see works by Cildo Meireles

The Paço das Artes museum in São Paulo opens the "Listen Here!" exhibition, focusing on sound as a form of artistic experience.

The Paço das Artes museum in São Paulo has inaugurated the exhibition "Listen Here!" which transforms the artistic experience from a visual focus to an auditory one. This innovative show features a wide array of sculptures, objects, videos, and installations that explore sound as a language, substance, and spatial organization. Curated by Renato De Cara, the exhibition offers a broad interpretation of Brazilian culture through its diverse soundscapes, creating immersive experiences for the visitors.

The exhibition is structured into distinct areas, with each artist occupying a unique space that illustrates their interpretation of sound. In total, 34 artworks are displayed along with a selection of 20 popular musical instruments on loan from the Museum of Brazilian Cultures. A special room dedicated to vinyl listening invites the audience to select and enjoy records at their leisure, enhancing the interactive nature of the exhibition.

One of the standout pieces is by renowned sculptor and painter Cildo Meireles, showcasing his work titled "Tilim Tilim" (2025), constructed from steel and resembling a musical triangle. This work features a cylindrical rod engraved with his initials, embodying the thematic essence of the exhibition. The opening not only highlights this noteworthy collection but also marks the revival of the Sonora Paço project, which aims to further engage audiences with sound in the arts.
