Popular music accompanies or is constitutive of some of our most meaningful and widely shared cultural moments. The ecstatic potential of rock music provides a space to exceed standardized terms of representation, language and control. 

The artists in Sound + Vision: Crossroads explore the intersections of music, contemporary film and video, and post-conceptual art. Rather than staging a meeting of isolated fields of cultural production (music and art), Sound and Vision: Crossroads seeks to trouble the autonomy of art, music and film, and the singular identities of artist / musician / filmmaker. More than an exercise in juxtaposition, translation or transposition, this exhibition offers a complex matrix of sound, image, signal, noise, and meaning. 

The accumulation of knowledge, emotion, and physical experience in art / music / film can exceed the boundaries of language and knowledge management. 

These notions might provide a forum for the social construction of space. 

The crossroads of sound and vision push the limits of cultural transformation, in ways that we may implicate the excesses of the human body as a conduit and agent in radicalizing social practice.
