invisible force - sound in sculpture

Sculpture Tucson invites artists to submit work for Invisible Force – Sound in Sculpture, a juried exhibition exploring the sculptural potential of sound.

The exhibition will be on view November 29, 2026 – June 6, 2027 in Tucson, Arizona.

Invisible Force – Sound in Sculpture

Sound sculpture bridges object, environment, and performance; it may vibrate, react to wind or touch, use digital systems, or shape acoustic spaces. Works range from participatory pieces to evolving sound environments.

Artists have explored sound’s sculptural potential since the Futurists, using both traditional and digital techniques. New technologies now offer expanded ways to create spatial and material sonic experiences.

This exhibition invites artists to explore questions such as:

• How can sound define or transform a sculptural form?

• How does sound alter our perception of space, movement, and material?

• What new sculptural experiences emerge when sound becomes the medium?

Selected works may be kinetic, acoustic, mechanical, electronic, digital, or interactive, but all should explore sound as an essential element of the sculptural experience.
