Opening on January 22, Saturday afternoon, 3-6pm a new exhibition at Sala Diaz by Austin-based artist Steve Parker, SOUND TREATMENT traces the history of bodily healing through sound. Drawing from the liturgical chants of 12th century abbess Hildegard von Bingen, anatomical votives of ancient Rome, Italian Futurist Noise Intoners, unintentional ASMR YouTube clips, and Sonic Meditations of Pauline Oliveros, visitors will encounter works that imagine new forms of sonic therapy: speaker walls made of cardboard body parts, resonant copper bells, bird sized concrete ruins, tactile brass appliances, and wearable phonograph needles.
